Hmm...I always thought Fake!Moody stabbed Harry and not Ron.  
Really, Ron's guilty of abandoning (not betraying) Harry.

As to Ron's overall ability to "see," let's not ignore the times when 
Ron has jumped to the WRONG conclusions.  True, some of his assertions 
in canon can still come true in canon, but look at all that he's been 
wrong about.  In particular, time and time again Ron attributes evil 
intentions to those he despise (Snape, Draco) and turns out to be 
wrong about them after all which led them to ignore the real culprits. 
 How many times has Ron pointed to Snape or Draco, accusing them of 
being the root of all trouble?  (Really, does Snape or Draco need help 
in that department? <grin> )  I am not yet convinced that Ron's 
batting average as a "Seer" is better than others at Hogwarts.
