Ah, people are misunderstanding me.  I never said I didn't like Ron 
and I certainly didn't say he would become evil.  I don't see Ron 
"turning" evil because I don't see evil in him now.  However, I do see 
him as a prime candidate as a pawn for someone else's potentially evil 
plans.    

I know that Harry was the only student to successfully fight the 
Imperius Curse, but Ron's inability to get it out of his system was 
pruposely noted by JKR.  There was no mention of Hermione at all 
(which led me to ask about that a few months back).  JKR, being the 
master at foreshadowing that she is, seems to be hinting at something 
here... to me, anyway. 

I also very much agree that Ron has quite a bit of growing to do (as 
does Draco, Hermione and even *gasp* my beloved Harry), but I never 
liked his comments about Eloise Midgen or the nasty comments he made 
to Hermione at the Yule Ball simply because she was there with Krum.  
I am guilty of letting my emotions get the best of me.  Thinking of my 
own experiences makes me worry for Ron.  I am looking forward to 
seeing Ron think things through before jumping to conclusions the way 
he has tended to do so far.
