It is always possible that Pettigrew ended up with the Weasleys by 
sheer chance or selected them, as they are a good Wizarding family. 
It is also possible that there is method in his madness. He could 
have specifically chosen them in order to monitor Ron or another 
member of the family because they had or were suspected to have some 
kind of skill or might fulfil a role that has not yet been revealed. 
Ron's actual friendship with Harry would seem to be a bonus though. 
Nothing in canon ever seems to be coincidental and it seems likely 
that there is more going on here than meets the eye.
