Okay, Amy Z mentioned the trick stair incident...

And Jo mentions Ron's including Neville in the World Cup 
discussions...

...however...

(and you knew this was coming!)

All that stuff happens *before* the sections of GoF I analyzed.

In my essay, I said that I was empathetic towards Ron prior to mid-
GoF.  That is why my analysis *began at the Yule Ball*.  I don't hate 
Ron as a character (I'll address Amy's points in my next post), but 
neither do I think he's being fair in any of those sections.

And you guys brought up all the old fallback "they're just 14!" 
arguments again.  Sigh.
