Ron Weasley - Death of a friend?

Hey All, now I know that this has probably been talked about before 
but I couldn't find what I was looking for so I would like to pose 
this question.

Will Ron Weasley die? I have no doubt that he will survive to the 
final showdown with LV, but will he sacrifice himself so that Harry 
will live?

I have read about the "Running Weasel" story, where he is killed by 
his pet rat. I think that if *sobs* Ron is going to die LV will get 
him, I'm not sure if Wormtail has the guts. 

Which leads me to my next question, if Wormtail is indebted to 
Harry, how will he pay him back? Perhaps him paying Harry back will 
be not killing Ron. However, even if he does spare him I fear that 
this will not save Ron in the end. 

As I said I'm sure it has been spoken about before but I would love 
to hear some thoughts about it! :)
