Ron splitting with Harry and Hermione

Hi,

 reading the comments from several people who seem to feel
 pretty strongly that Ron will betray Harry's trust in the
 future and join the dark side, made me wonder.

 It sounds like some people would welcome this development,
 and I'd like to find out why <g>.

 Is it, so Ron is out of the way and Harry and Hermione can
 be "a couple"?

 Is it because you really dislike Ron as a character?

 The story would be more interesting to see him bad or dead.

 He doesn't deserve to be part of the trio because of his
 flaws (temper, envy)?

 He's the present day equivalent of Pettigrew and therefor
 *has* to go bad?

 There are most likely a million reasons I haven't
 considered, but I like all three of the kid main characters
 and would truly hate this kind of development, so I'd like
 to see some other opinions :)

 Especially since it looks like book 5 will not come out any
 time soon to see how things develop in canon.
