I agree with Ron being similar to teenage Sirius. Both have rather 
nasty tempers and I can see that getting Ron into a whole lot of 
sticky spots. Ron is also very blunt most of the time saying things 
that Harry and Hermione are only thinking. 

Ron's potential for falling to the wrong side so to speak may have to 
do more with his pride than anything else. He's very stubborn and as 
many people have pointed out he won't admit when he's wrong.  We saw 
in GoF his jealousy of Harry and his stubborn pride kept him from 
talking to Harry. Yes Harry was partially to blame for keeping the 
rift going but as I recall he(Harry) seemed to be more miserable by 
it than Ron did. 

I don't think Ron will become a DE but I do think his stubborn pride 
is going to put him in a situation that may endanger Harry and 
Hermione. It's not something he'll do as a consious thought but as a 
rash reaction fueled by his temper.  

Just my thought on the situation.
