Or "the thing he would miss the most"...I still think Ron will not make 
through Book 7 alive.  Perhaps the sacrifice will be his.  This goes along 
with the theory that he might betray Harry and ultimate turn back to him, 
sacrificing himself in the process.  So maybe the prophecy or whatever is that 
Harry will die defeating Voldemort, but Ron will take his place.
