ME:  Well, I agree that Ron is NOT going to betray Harry. My reason
behind this is simple, Ron LOVES his family; even if his father make
little money, he has 5 brothers and 1 sisters they can ill afford. 
Ron has something that Peter NEVER had, and that is simply honor.  Ron
gripes about is old rat scabbers but, really loved it.  Just like he
complains about his pet owl (pig).  He loves it but, showing it that 
is something else.  That is Ron's problem.  That is why he bickers
with Hermionie.  He only knows how to yell to show affection.  If he
didn't respect her he would just not talk to her.  I know that other
posts say Harry hold Hermione and Ron together.  But R/H spend time
together in other books.  And R/H talked together to Harry about being
the DA teacher.  Not just Hermionie.
just my two cents
