I completely agree.  I felt this was a likely future plot line after we hear in GoF 
about Ron 'stil skipping every few steps' after a DADA class where he was 
told to skip around the room under Crouch/Moody's imperius.  To me, that 
says he has very little natural ability to fight the curse or mind control in 
general.  

I 'm betting galleons that Ron will be used under imperius sometime before 
the end of the series.
