And we have seen time and again that Ron respects his father's 
opinions above all others.

And greatelderone wrote:
What? Ron has said over and over again that he hates being poor and 
that he thought that his father had a crappy and boring job which 
just shows how much respect he has for his father.

Me again:
Actually, Ron does think of his father first when he needs advice, 
especially magical advice.  Remember in GoF?  Harry predicted Ron 
would want to ask his dad about Harry's scar pains, and what 
happened?  Ron *did* want to consult his dad, just as Harry 
predicted.  I believe there is at least one other example of this, 
but my memory fails me and my books aren't near.

But really, just a little scene like that is all JKR needs to 
demonstrate that Ron respects his dad.
