Well...

We need to consider the fact that Ron is probably the most 
underdeveloped and immature of the Trio thus far. I think that part of 
Ron's maturation is that he learns to let go of his jealousy of Harry 
and to see that everything Harry has isn't necessarily desirable. A 
mature Ron will be able to accept what he himself is, and won't covet 
things of Harry's. Therefore, all this about Ron getting Hermione 
because Harry has everything else is not that good of an argument- Ron 
needs to mature before he and Hermione can have a fulfulling 
relationship, but by then, he'll have let go of his jealousy of Harry.

*looks back at her words* By the Goddess that was confusing. In 
retrospect, in fact, it doesn't seem to make much sense at all. I 
suppose I'm trying to say that, if Ron and Hermione ever develop a 
relationship, it won't be because of something so petty as 'Harry 
always has everything', because by the time Ron and Hermione can 
really have a fulfulling relationship, Ron will have matured enough to 
be content with what he has.
