..... Ron is being portrayed as a great guy and friend, and I don't 
believe he'd betray Harry for money or some other intangible. But 
he's just not advancing as much magically as some of the others in 
the DADA group, even Neville, and that's worrisome.  Of course, even 
under the Imperius curse, your ability to resist it must correlate to 
what you're being asked to do.  Skipping involuntarily is one thing, 
but betraying your best friend... I agree he will be put to the test, 
though.  Ariadne

My rsponse:
Unless love is thrown into the mix.  Love has caused great tradgedy 
in the past and why not in Harry Potter's world.  Ron's a great 
friend and believes he would never betray Harry....BUT we know he's 
in love with Hermione and she's not in love with him.  All Ron need's 
is the belief, true or not that Harry and Hermione are in love and 
tragedy is sure to follow.
