I actually don't recall Ron *ever* being much worse than
Harry in their classes.

They seem pretty equal, overall.

Of course, Harry is the main character and has inherited all
this talent (or was some of it transferred from LV?) and can
do some things without even having to practice much (like flying, being a
keeper, defeating the Imperius Curse). He also receives a lot more
individual tutoring in some areas, while other students are
just not even thought capable at the same age.

I'm sure the Patronus could be achieved by a lot more
students at a younger age, if they just received
instructions.

I'm actually a little surprised how hard magic seems to come
to most students. Hermione seems to be the only one in their
year who can do anything on the first try.
Most kids seem to have trouble remembering simple
incantations, or follow a potion recipe written down right
in front of them, for some reason.
