I think Ron took a lot of grief from Harry, which he didn't deserve,  in OoP, and 
the reason he didn't jump all over Harry's case is that he's Harry's best friend, 
he cares about him, and he understands what he's going through. IMO, that 
proved how devoted Ron is. He was jealous in GOF, yes, but he got over that. 
He thought Harry was trying to get all the glory, but eventually reaslized his 
friend was in trouble and gave him whatever help he could. I just can't see 
Ron's betraying Harry.  There is more to Ron than a desire to prove himself; 
besides, the need is no longer there. He is coming into his own as a great 
wizard.
