I agree.

The other characters have their problems, too.

Ron *occasionally* gets upset at the money issue, or feels
bad about being shunted to the side, but it's not as if he
constantly stews about this.
He also has never done anything underhanded to change this.

When angry with Harry, he didn't talk to him, but he also
didn't stab him in the back in any way.

He doesn't try and get other people to spread some of their
wealth to him, in fact he doesn't want this at all.
No sign of him being easily bribed.
He wouldn't do harm for money.

Ron seems to admire Hermione's abilities, and doesn't appear
jealous or insecure about his own magical abilities in any
way (as far as we learn about this from Harry's POV).

I find this overly negative image I sometimes read about
completely overblown.

And I still doubt very much Hermione would be a good choice
for MoM.

She doesn't have nearly enough people skills to be
effective.
At the end of the first month, she'd have offended just
about everyone with her manner (unless she completely
changes in later years).
