I never received the original mail, but saw this part quoted
in another post and wanted to reply to it.

Ron wasn't involved in the hexing of Draco, Crabbe and Goyle
in OotP, according to my book.
And all the DA members involved are specifically named!

Here is the relevant text from OotP:
*************
The attack might have succeeded had it not been for the fact
that they unwittingly chose to stage the attack right
outside a compartment full of DA members, who saw what was
happening through the glass and rose as one to rush to
Harry's aid. By the time Ernie Macmillan, Hannah Abbott,
Susan Bones, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Anthony Goldstein and
Terry Boot had finished using a wide variety of the hexes
and jinxes Harry had taught them, Malfoy Crabbe and Goyle
resembled nothing so much as three gigantic slugs squeezed
into Hogwarts uniform as Harry, Ernie and Justin hoisted
them into the luggage rack and left them there to ooze.
