JKR and Ron Weasley

Reading the five books over again in order I get the impression that 
JKR doesn't like Ron that much.

I came to this conclusion mainly because Ron doesn't seem to have that 
close a relationship with Hagrid compared to the other two in the 
trio. (People who don't get along with Hagrid tend to be bad such as 
Malfoy, and Umbridge - however Ron and Hagrid do get along but they 
just don't seem as strong).

Also JKR hasn't given him a girlfriend or admirer yet! Hermy has had 
Krum (and Neville?) whereas Harry has had Cho and Ginny. What has Ron 
had? He's had no such plots and it's this also that makes me believe 
that JKR isn't too keen on Ron.

Ron is sometimes compared to Percy (Prefect and Fred & George once said 
they were ashamed that he was their brother).

Perhaps however, it's not that JKR doesn't like Ron but that this is 
simply how Ron's character is? 
Fred & George also pick on Ginny but they evidently like her. 
Also, Ron seems to hide his feelings with dislike (ie- Scrabbers / 
Pig / Hermy) perhaps he does like Hagrid as much as the other two 
except finds it harder to express so. But I get the impression that 
it's Hagrid that doesn't really 'get along' with Ron.
