See what got me is she made such a point of Ron's difficulty. I mean 
prior to that she had already stated that no one else could resist, 
and given example of everyone else not being able to resist. So to 
me, Harry's unique ability had already been established, so that 
passage stood out as something which might have more signigicance.
