Actually, I took a different take on this - I felt that for the first time
Ron was learning that it isn't so great being Harry - being in the
spotlight, standing out of the crowd for something.  All along he's been
plagued by jealousy - Harry has fame, Harry has money, and all these things
happen to Harry - remember GOF.  I feel as though Ron was humbled a bit in
this book.
