Hey!  I didn't say emotionally mature.  Not by any means.  

But hair-pulling is "like, *so* fifth grade."

Hmm... why Ron as Typical Boy and not one of the others like Seamus 
or Dean?  I don't think he's all that typical... which is why he 
fascinates me.

someone needs to keep an eye on him.

There's a bit of kid inside of all of us--no matter what our age, no 
matter what our gender.
