Now, what is wrong with complaining?

Ron seems to be type of person who is constantly complaining. Those 
complains, however, are nothing more than irrelevant babbling.
He complained about Scabbers constanly, but was very upset when he was 
allegedly eaten by Crookshanks.

Quote from PoA: "And despite Ron's frequent complaints that Scabbers was 
both boring and useless, he was sure Ron would be very miserable if 
Scabbers died."

True, Ron is often complaining, but those complains are not influencing 
what actually he is doing. (Remeber Gruffi - the Gummi Bear ;-).

On a related note: I think he was complaining much less[1] in OOtP (or 
at least he didn't say: "Why is everything I own is rubbish...").

[1] He often complained about his keeper abilities -- but I think this 
is a valid reason to complain.
