The thing is that Harry and Hermione are needy too. Their neediness 
does not come across in the same way, but it's still there. Ron is 
obviously insecure, but not much less so than Harry or Hermione. (I'm 
not going to go into a long dissertation on the fact, but Harry has 
issues with trust and Hermione's studying is IMHO a sign of 
insecurity. At least I think my own studying habits often reflect as 
such.) I agree that all teenagers are to a certain extent insecure. 
At this age we don't even know *who* we really are. Insecurity, at 
least sometimes, is a given.


That is a very good point that I felt needs to be addressed here.  They are all teenagers.  Ron came from an environment where obviously he felt that he did not have much of his own.  This is why he is always on the defense of what he has for himself.  His friends(Harry and Hermione), his family, and his rat.  As far as jealously goes, I'd probably be a bit jealous of Harry and his attention too, even if it is unwanted.  

Hermione's   success at school and constant studying is a reflection of the fact that she feels she might be a failure if she doesn't study.  She feels that all her worth and wisdom comes directly from books, which is sad but true ( that she feels this way).

Harry is insecure because he feels that he will loose everything that he has.  He is worried that he will loose his Godfather, his friends, his everything.
