I think your points have a certain validity, but I think Ron has a 
lack of consideration as well.  He seems to think Harry is enjoying 
his notoriety, the way Ron would if it were his.  Ron doesn't seem to 
realize that Harry is still self-conscious about it, would rather be 
just a regular kid, and would trade it all to have what Ron has:  his 
parents to go home to each summer.

Harry *knows* that Vold has taken many loved ones from other people, 
but he's only fourteen, of course he's focused on his own loss.  I 
would expect the other people who've lost loved ones to Vold are more 
heart-broken over their losses than Harry's.  These kids are young 
still, as they mature it seems inevitable they will come to see each 
other's side.  Perhaps this understanding will be a mark of their 
maturity.
