I myself see it differently.
PS: Ron and Hermione helped Harry to get into the last chamber, where 
Harry faced Quirrell alone. Ron was paralysed by the chessboard and 
Hermione had to leave because of the lack of potion...

CS: Hermione's disabled; Ron's wand -- disabled, but it *still* saves 
them from amnesia. Harry *was* fighting Voldemort mostly alone - 
except that Fawkes came to help.

PA: Harry does *the* thing -- alone, when he summoned the Patronus! 
Helped to it by Hermione and Ron - and afterwards to finish the job.

GF: Ron's off; Hermione helping -- first task over. Then, they *both* 
are disabled and Harry must rescue them (like being paralysed by 
Basilisk?)-- although Krum helps with Hermione, and Harry saves Ron. 
Both Hermione and Ron help Harry prepare for the third task - but 
he's in it alone...

I see fourth book as a summary - except that this time - this time - 
someone really died.
