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.
