  Gotta butt in, since I gotta defend Ron. :) I agree that Ron and 
Harry really care about each other, since they clicked so fast and 
easily on their first meeting, and Harry chose Ron over Draco. Aside 
from the argument, we saw that Ron was chosen as the most important 
think to Harry, which says a lot. I *don't* mean to imply a sexual 
relationship, so don't flame me, ok? I just mean that they are each 
other's brother they never had, so to speak.

  Ron's jealousy had been brewing a while, I think, and with him 
being the poor, omega male in his family, I can understand his 
feelings. I don't really excuse them, but I know he's human and I can 
understand and forgive him, as Harry did. While Ron doesn't have the 
hellish life Harry does, he does have his cross to bear, and it gets 
to him at times. But I don't think he'd *ever* turn on Harry without 
being under a curse. I do agree that his "sidekick" status is chaning 
a bit, and that's great! I'd love to see Ron and Harry as an Auror 
team, and I think it could happen, as I don't see Ron leaving Harry's 
side if he decides to become an Auror, unless of course he has to 
deal with giant spiders. ;)

  As to his feelings about Ginny dating Harry....dunno for sure. The 
big brother in him might want to smack Harry for even looking at her 
*that* way, but then again, I think that he'd rather she be with 
Harry than some of the other boys in school.
