But there is one thing that you are missing that is very important 
and i want you all to think about it. He says that he is standing 
alone. Much like Percy who took ambition over family, Ron is standing 
in all the glory by himself. Where is the rest of his family? What do 
you think that means?

Sof: I think it means that Ron is not overshadowed by his brothers. 
He sees himself surpassing all of them by succeeding in more areas 
than any one of them did. His deepest desire concerns himself, not 
others.
