I have to admit the similar wand cores bothers me a little.  In 
previous posts, I have made my opinion quite clear regarding the 
predestination of certain characters and this includes Ron.  I want 
to make it clear that I still do not adhere to the notion of fate as 
being a guiding force in the HP series.  However, not to backtrack 
any here, Ron has demonstrated since the very first book a 
willingness to step forward in dangerous situations. Of course these 
decisions have all been freely made choices- not according to some 
pre-set plan.  IMO, as a matter fact, Ron's decisions tend to be spur 
of the moment reactions to the situation at hand.  Ron's character is 
most noble and I am afraid this nobility will lead him into a final 
no-win situation.  It will still be a matter of choice-not fate.  
IMO, we have been given enough information regarding Ron's character 
to make certain assumptions as to his future-but again, let it be 
emphasized-these can only be assumptions.  Therefore, on the basis of 
these assumptions-the similarity in wand cores does give me pause.
