We don't know that. The battle in the MoM shows that Harry doesn't 
need Ron as much we had previously thought.

And Percy, Voldemort or Wormtail didn't start off in the beginning 
with active plans to betray or to kill. They had to get there by 
themselves somehow. For Percy it was his desire for power in the 
ministry that made him betray his family while for Wormtail it was 
his desire to have powerful friends that made him a death eater and 
for Voldemort it was probably his alienation and the lack of a real 
home that set him down the road to becoming the Dark Lord. 

And despite their supposed lack of similarities both Ron and Percy 
have a desire for power, authority and prestige.

Doubt it. In all respects Dumbledore is the equivalent of God in the 
books and it will lessen the impact of the betrayal if Dumbledore 
instead of Harry is betrayed.
