H/H/G Love Triangle, Vampires, Snape and Ron, Oh My!

In response to Hikaru and bobby's discussion about the H/H/R 
triangle, and Ron betraying Harry because of bitterness of him and 
Hermione [akin to the Snape hates James theory], you forget one 
thing - Snape and james were never friends - never best friends, like 
brothers. I do agree that Ron may well get lured to the dark side, 
possibly inadvertantly [he may come udner the imperius curse and not 
yet have the strength of character to throw it off], ultimately, his 
and Harry's friendship will be reconciled, because I think JKR likes 
Ron too much as a character to completely turn the plot on its head 
and make him, the sidekick hero of esp. the first three books, the 
ultimate bad one - after all, she based him a lot on her very good 
friend, Sean Harries [to whom CofS is dedicated]. I know Peter 
Pettigrew was a close friend-turned-bad, but whilst i can se Ron 
doing something stupid because of his jealousy/inferiority complex, I 
really can't see JKR allowing us to finish the books without 
redeeming him.
