I rather agree. Ron's not a particular hero of mine, but you fanfic 
writers can't just keep conveniently killing him whenever it suits 
the storyline to have him out of the way. Can't he have a horrific 
but non-fatal accident and an extended convalescence back at the 
Burrow, or something more along those lines?
