I agree. The way things are going, the idea that Ron will go traitor 
seems to fit well. Throughout the series, he's had more and more 
character flaws piled up on him; next to Harry, who has his problems 
but nevertheless always seems to make the right choice, Ron looks 
like a -horrible- person, at least at first glance. His going evil 
looks inevitable. I'm hoping, though, that JKR won't choose that more 
obvious path. And hey--she's surprised us so many times before, 
what's to stop her from doing it again?
I also like the idea of Harry going at least partly evil...in my 
opinion, it would make him that much more interesting. :)
