IMHO, the evidence doesn't support Ron's turning evil.  SS 
characterizes unicorns as innocent; there is no suggestion that all 
the innocent will die, merely that the innocent will be first.  Thus, 
the unicorn hair in Ron's wand may suggest innocence more than 
shortness of life.  Wand length seems to relate to the size of the 
owner as much as anything else.  The women tend to have short wands 
and Hagrid's is the longest of anyone's, at 16 inches.  So Ron's long 
wand suggests that he will be -- tall!  The possibility of his 
sacrifice, however, is suggested both by the willow wand and his 
sacrifice in the chess game in SS.  (I don't think he will die; 
however, my reasons for that have nothing to do with wands.)
