I looked this up in my version of COS, and from Harry's pov Ron was 
not getting a worse punishment:
quote:
"Filch'll have me there all night," said Ron heavily.  "no magic!  
There must be about a hundred cups in that room.  I'm no good at 
muggle cleaning."

"I'd swap anytime," said Harry hollowly.  "I've had loads of practice 
with the Dursleys.  Answering Lockhart's fan mail...he'll be a 
nightmare...."

So this instance, at least, is not a valid argument that Harry gets 
better treatment then Ron when it comes to punishments.
