I'm going to jump in with what I thought was going on with Ron in 
the Department of Mysteries.  When Harry met up with Ron, Luna, and 
Ginny in the hallway of the rotating doors, Ron was seriously messed 
up (to use the technical term there).  Ron was bleeding from the 
mouth, could barely stand, and was not making much sense.  Harry had 
to drag Ron (and Harry commented that dragging Ron was like dragging 
Dudley after the dementor attack: neither was moving).  Ron was 
detached from the dangers around him, and mentally not all there.  
He was being giggly and all, but he did not seem to take in where he 
was or the situation that he was in.  When Ron summonsed the brain, 
death eaters were attacking people.  My thoughts were that Ron was 
very seriously physically injured, and his attitude/silliness was a 
manifestation of this.  Bleeding at the mouth can be a sign of a 
very serious injury.  And after a loss of blood, some people can 
get "funny".  That's what I thought happened to Ron.  With the 
brains, I thought that the brain was trying to dig its way into Ron, 
to try and take Ron's body over or something.  Or maybe eat Ron.  I 
didn't think that Ron necessarily understood what the thoughts on 
the brain tentacles were, just that the tentacles caused him pain.  
Very interesting speculations brought up on just what these thoughts 
could do to Ron!
