I agree with this.

If Ron had only Hermione as a friend, he'd still have the
same problems with his life.

It's ironic that Harry thinks he wants what Ron has, and Ron
thinks it would be great to have what Harry has, minus
Voldemort, maybe.

Harry might find out that you can get a little lost in a
large family. He gets large amounts of loving attention from the
Weasleys, but most of it has to do with who he is and how
the Dursleys treat him.

I *hope* Molly would do the same for some unknown kid with
mean relatives, but I'm not sure.
There seems to be a little hero worship involved with Harry.

Ron doesn't seem to get much positive attention from his
family, and I'm not surprised he was a little hurt that his
brothers didn't give *him* the map, and that his mom didn't
explain about the horrible maroon dress robes in private,
instead of hoping he wouldn't notice, and then get all mad
at him.

She could have made the dress robes look a bit better by taking
off the moldy lace, and not played up how she bought Harry's to go
nicely with his eye color.

It was quite insensitive of her, and I didn't particularly
like the way she treated Hermione after reading the gossip
about her, Krum and Harry.

I guess we are learning that not only Ron has his issues,
but Molly isn't perfect, either ;)
