I believe that JKR is deliberately setting up Ron so that he can go "either way" (meaning good or bad).  What fun would it be if we **really** knew which way it would turn out?  I think we also need to take a look at the Polyjuice problem...sometimes people are **literally** not who they seem to be!  I had no clue that Mad-Eye was Crouch.  What if Ron tries to frame Neville?  Or Neville Ron?  I can see all these possibilities are very possible and it's maddening!

Perhaps...but in Marauder times, they were suspicious of Lupin that he might be the traitor.  Then we all thought it was Sirius, but, of course, it was Pettigrew.  The point is, we are going to need to be on our toes!  JKR always finds a twist, though.

Hmmmm...
