I sure hope Ron doesn't die in the end.
Maybe it'll go the same way as in the chess game, where he
is *willing* to die for his friends, but fortunately doesn't.

IMO, he's *already* done plenty of heroic things, but
doesn't seem to realize this and it's not really
acknowledged (well, getting a lot of house points *is* an
acknowledgement, but his family sure doesn't seem to think
it's something to talk about or be proud of very much).

I wonder if Ron really wants to surpass his brothers or if
he just wants to be noticed for things he does.

He does seem to fall between the cracks a bit in the Weasley
family, IMO.

And which ones of his brothers would you see as especially
heroic?

Charlie, because he works with dragons? (at least I Think
it's Charlie, but don't have time to check, atm)

Just wondering...
