But working as Harry's sidekick or rather doing deeds on "Harry's 
coattails" is a great deal more than others have done. Ron has helped 
in many ways. He helped Harry get through the obstacles guarding the 
Sorcerer's Stone, helped him figrue out the location of the Chamber 
of Secrets and went a long way with him, helped him confront Sirius 
Black and helped him prepare for every Triwizard Tournament task. I 
think Ron's contributions are being discounted because they are 
trifling compared to Harry's yet any other 5th year Gryffindor's are 
trifling compared to Ron's. He is the next-best choice. After him, I 
would guess would be Neville. He may have been bullied and tormented 
by teachers as well as students yet it takes extraordinary faith, 
bravery and solidarity to stay firm and good after what has happened 
to his parents and to even attempt to fight the force that caused it 
and Dumbledore knows that.
