But he does know, to paraphrase Hagrid "everything seems to happen to Harry"
He knows that Harry was nearly killed twice in PS/SS. (Quidditch Match and in 
the secret room). He knows that Harry was nearly killed saving Ginny.  And 
everyone thought that Sirius was trying to kill Harry (so the implied threat 
was real enough to Harry).  So Ron knows that trouble does seem to seek Harry 
out. That's why I have hard time believeing that the thought that someone was 
trying to get to Harry again didn't cross his mind.   I know after the first 
task Ron says that he thinks that someone was trying to kill Harry but for 
all we know Hermione might have been trying to convince Ron for weeks.
