"I think Ron has the want to outdue his brothers(and Harry) so as to 
be recognized for himself, but I don't think he really has the drive 
to do so.  Look at how he does in his classes, it's not like he's an 
attention-deprived, over-acheiver trying desperately to be noticed.  
I believe it's just his secret dream to become one of the greats, 
plus I don't think Ron has yet found his true calling.  He seems to 
be a mix of some of his brother's traits- he has a good sense of 
humor and rebellion like the twins, but he also has the same sense of 
loyalty and responsibility(although this last one seems rather small 
alot of the time =P) as Percy."  -Aldrea279

I think that is an excellent descripton of Ron! 

"I NEVER saw Ron as Pettigrew!  Where does this come from?  I always 
saw Neville as Pettigrew.  Just Neville and Pettigrew's physical 
descriptions seem to match rather well.  Then it talks about 
Pettigrew always being the tag-along to James and his group, and that 
is exactly what Neville has always seemed to be to the Trio." -Aldrea279

You know, I see Neville as Pettigrew in the obvious ways, but I really never 
considered him to be like Pettigrew because he seems like such a terribly 
sweet person to me. And he doesn't really "tag along" with Harry and friends 
very often, looking for their protection and approval. I think it is a very 
interesting development that his parents turned out to be famous aurors who 
suffered through torturing that left them insane. Neville doesn't hang out 
with Harry &etc. but he doesn't really hang out with Seamus and Dean too much 
either, so he's alone, isn't he? Maybe he'll become better friends with Harry 
& co. as the next book. I would love to see Neville do something really great 
in future books. 

"Actually, I don't like Harry and Hermione being a couple.  Harry has 
never thought a single thought about Hermione that wasn't more than 
just friends!  Infact, he's thought thoughts that were LESS than 
friendly.  I honestly don't see Harry and Hermione hooking up, unless 
by some sudden change Harry goes "oh, I really do love Hermione!".  I 
see Ron and Hermione, just because it seemed so plainly obvious that 
they liked each other in GoF.  Hey, opposites attract."  -Aldrea279


About Hermione, doesn't anyone want to see her with Krum? I personally find 
Krum's character attractive and I like that JKR ended up putting Hermione 
with someone besides Ron and Harry, though I must admit I would find it 
terribly exciting if anything happened between her and one them.
