Ron may not apply himself to his classwork, (though I'd be

better than Hermione at  Quidditch, chess, and even a  
classroom subject--Divination!



:-)  I'm smiling, but that is a low blow.  I'll give you that Ron is better 
at chess and Quidditch than Hermione, but to say he is better at Divination is 
stretching things a bit.  Harry and Ron both try to lie and fake their way 
thru the class and nether will get an owl.  Hermione at least had the courage of 
her convictions and said it was bunk.  She is taking a class in which she will 
receive an owl.

As for how many owls people will get, we all know Hermione will receive the 
most. I'm interested to see how many owls are given. I think the surprise will 
be that Harry does well in Potions.  After all he needs to continue the study 
to be an Auror and the story wouldn't be the same if Harry didn't have classes 
with Snape.

He's proven he can set a goal and go after it --that sounds like an achievement oriented person to me.

And I've never really understood why if the female partner is smarter, it's guaranteed to torpedo the relationship. There are some rare gems out there who think smart is sexy  and Ron, IMO, is one of them.

I'm going to stand back and wait for the bricks to be thrown, but Hermione is 
my favorite character in canon.  If she were my daughter; I would be extremely proud.  I'd also want the best for her.  In my opinion she can do much better than Ron.  And I don't just mean Harry.  I'm not really a H/Hr shipper as much as I'm an anti R/Hr shipper.
