I said: 
While I don't see him as the strongest of wizards, I no longer think 
he may be one who will betray Harry or the Order, either purposely or 
accidentally.

signs of a fracture between Harry and Ron.>

Yes, I see you have gone out of your way to disagree with just about 
everything I've said, mainly using the argument that Ron is immature. 
What confuses me is that you seem to think that Ron will actually 
develop such a hatred for his best friend that he may be willing to 
turn towards someone as evil as Voldemort, possibly in the hopes Harry 
will die.  

Ron is only about 16 years old now and is dealing with insecurities, 
responsiblities, family issues, girls and school.  He is probably the 
most typical teen in the series, and certainly of the Trio.  Where in 
all of this do you see Ron becoming someone who would turn his back on 
his friends and family?  Do you really think he is so similar to 
Percy?  Do you really think that because he has some growing to do he 
will suddenly lose sight of the difference between good and bad?

Ron may be a pain in the butt at times, but cut him some slack.  He's 
no DE in training.
