But in Cos, Dumbledore says that "it is our choices...that show what we
truly are, far more than our abilities." Further, Dumbledore has given Snape
a second chance, even though Snape had been a Death Eater. Do you really
think that Dumbledore is someone who is likely to be so judgemental against
a teenager just because of who is father is, that he's willing to write him
off to evil at age 14/15?

Because Ron is somehow less prone to rulebreaking? That's not exactly canon,
but it's not an uncommon conjecture among some.
