Mo,

That's really an interesting theory, and in my case it pans out 
completely.  I have much more of a Ron-type personality.  I never had 
the kind of assertive thing that Hermione does.  And as a kid I never 
much felt the need to participate until and unless something grabbed 
me (as my unadulterated enthusiasm for Ron and the Weasleys in general 
grabs me).  Which I guess is why lately it seems I can't shut up to 
save my life.  Ron's perspective in the books is the one that I 
identify with most.  Or if not Ron, Ginny or Neville even before Harry 
*or* Hermione.  

I can't identify too much with Harry, as I've never been a hero, nor 
have I had the kind of scrutiny or expectations that Harry endures.

And Hermione is the kind of girl that I always envied just a little 
bit.  Best friends with the heros, super-smart and capable of calling 
on her knowlege in a crisis, and on top of everything, able to 
clean-up and be beautiful and elegant.  I just can't identify with 
her.  She's almost too perfect.  

Can't wait to see how this theory works out for everyone else.

Peace,
