Harry also has 11 years of experience with the
Dursleys that his best course of action is to just
shut up and stay out of the way.  Ron, on the other
hand, grew up in a house full of older brothers.  I
think he learned to eat or be eaten. ;)

I canNOT see Ron as a Death Eater under any
circumstances.  As has been said previously, he's
shown a great deal of loyalty to his family and
friends.  The angriest he's ever gotten, IMO, were
when Hermione was insulted by Malfoy and when his
beloved pet was revealed as Wormtail.  Most of the
times I recall him getting into fights were when
either his friends or his family were insulted. 

And I'm sorry, but anyone who will let himself be
taken down by violent chess pieces to help his
friends, go into the Chamber of Secrets to face an
unknown evil in order to save his sister and support
his friend, stand on a broken leg and offer to act as
a human shield to protect his friend's life, and give
up precious time studying for finals to research an
appeal for his friend's *pet* is NOT a candidate for
being a Death Eater.

He's also a 14 year old boy.  They pull your hair on
the playground and call you names to show that they
*like* you.  I'm amazed Ron has gotten along as well
as he has with Hermione. ;)
