But this wasn't just one incident.  When Hermione was
petrified and Malfoy made the comment about wishing
she'd been killed and the bet the next one would be
(pg 267 paperback US ed) he said he was going to kill
Draco with his bare hands.  And, although Harry is
probably upset, the text gives no indication of that. 
And Ron kept trying to get loose from Harry and Dean
for a while.

Harry didn't come to the rescue of one of his best
friends.  Actually, I take that back; he came to the
rescue of Ron.  Who knows what Snape would've done to
him.

But Ron's action wasn't in defense of anyone.  It
couldn't help Hermione.  It was just an emotional
reaction.
