I tend to lean more towards FauxBetrayed!/TadJealous!Ron (Faux because Harry 
didn't actually betray him and Tad because I think that element was there for 
Hermione to pick up). But that gets a little long to type.

Hermione had the opportunity to speak with Ron both immediately after Harry's 
name came out of the Goblet and the following morning at breakfast.  Its 
quite possible that  Ron said or did something that led her to believe he was 
jealous.
