And how, I ask, is this any different from wanting recognition among your 
family and peers for your accomplishments?  How is it any different from 
wanting financial stability? 

How is it that one person's wants make them more susceptible to the Dark side 
than those of someone else?

I for one do not think that Ron and Hermione are all that different.
