> Granny responds: Thank you Dear, for reminding me of this
scenario. It struck me as VERY surreal at the time. As you reminded
us, "nothing was said about his episode of silliness". That is,
Madame Pomfrey concentrated strickly on softening whatever damage,
scarring, had been done. We're really left hanging, not even knowing
whose brain it was that so aggressively attacked, or even why Ron in
particular. But, Ron did report seeing Uranus, ('Harry, we saw
Uranus up close!' ) and from a little Astrology research, discovered
the planet's significance:
>
> Uranus rules the sign Aquarius (anyone know Ron's Sign?) and is the
planet of surprise and all that is unexpected. It also rules the
future and all new technology -- all that has just been invented and
all that is yet to come.
> Innovative, unpredictable, resourceful and experimental. This
planet also rules the breaking up of any established patterns or
structures, creating sudden -- even radical change.
> Uranus can turn over anything traditional, conventional or
orthodox in its path, which it deems no longer of value or having
outlived its usefulness. This planet produces quick, liberating
results. Uranus is strongly objective, rather than emotional. Since
Uranus also holds sway over social change, it also regulates the
global brotherhood of man and all humanitarian concerns.
>
> This brings me back to my initial idea that Ron is a "sleeper"; and
is to accomplish something of real significance. However, as we see
in canon, such an impending change would indeed produce
trauma, "scarring" . JKR threw in Uranus for some reason.

Ron was born in March, and so is a pisces, if that helps.
I thought perhaps someone had put the confundus charm on him - or
perhaps a very powerful cheering charm - if you remember, Ron had to
be led away to calm down after Harry'd overdone the cheering charm
on him in an exam.
But yes, the lack of explanation later does, if we interpret JKR's
style, mean something more profound happened to him.
