One thing I think is notable that hasn't been mentioned yet is that,
although we see Ron acting jealous of Harry, we never see him jealous
of Hermione. Rather, he seems downright proud of her at points. He
certainly notices and comments on her accomplishments far more than
Harry does, and he has yet to do so in a bitter, jealous matter.
I think it's equally notable that for all Ron's jealousy of Krum,
he's never even given a hint that he sees Harry as a romantic rival.
It seems to me that if Rowling were going to use these flaws of Ron's
to doom a romantic relationship between Ron and Hermione, she passed
up ample opportunity to foreshadow it.
