Um, personally I think it was never a matter of being with *RON* to 
get near *HARRY*.  After all, he kinda went through the family.  I 
believe he simply wanted to be where he was safe, no one knew who or 
what he was, could keep his ears out to at least hear what was 
happening, say, Voldemort comes back, what Happens to Harry, what the 
MOM is doing . . . is it safe for him . . . etc.

It's just his dumb blind luck that he ends up in a family that ends 
up with a son who's friends with Harry.  And as for keeping tabs on 
Harry . . . perhaps he was.  Always keeping himself in that roll so 
he could say, oh I was keeping an eye on Harry so Voldemort couldn't 
harm him to Sirius, or perhaps Oh I was keeping an eye on Harry so 
you could get near him to Voldemort.   It just became his best 
interest.

I don't think he purposely went looking for him like that.

Just my opinion
