Me here:  Side bar please... Harry is a better student than Ron in a
few ways.  We never here of Harry's handwriting getting progressively
bigger the further he gets in his homework.  Ron is forever crossing
out things, I don't here of that from Harry.. and when Hermione
corrects his homework, she says, thats fine Harry, I just had to
correct mice to ice.  Ron on the other hand had Hermione write an
entire conclution for him.  And that paper (if I'm not mistatken and I
very well could be) was the paper that he got a failing grade on from
Snape.  And Ron got a passing.  Harry didn't say anything because he
didin't want to hear *again* how UNFAIR Snape is to him.  Harry didn't
deserve a rotten grade from Snape, if he did Hermione would have told
Harry what he had was rubish and re-written it, and had harry copy out
what it should say.

But that is another topic "Harry's unfair life!"  But, I do think that
Ron and Harry are very normal about there school work.  And frankly I
wonder how Harry does any at *all* with everything going on in his
life.  And Ron is *well* your normal boy would plays sports and wants
to have fun.  Why make them grow up too soon... I can tell you now I
wouldn't read the books if they were all perfect and did their
homework on time and never got mad of goofed off or well, started
necking in the D.A. room.  That's the fun of the books.

Ta ta for now.. Tj
