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.
