Now Neri:

Even without the book I can remember at least one joke of Ron that 
did not come true and can never come true. This is somewhere in the 
beginning of GoF when he complains about Percy's admiration to his 
boss, Crouch Sr., and says something like "they will be announcing 
their engagement any day now". Now, if one is *very* keen on this 
theory, one might claim that maybe Percy and Crouch did become 
secretly engaged before Crouch died, but that is still not good 
enough, because they never announced it... I'm sure that there are 
more humorous predictions of Ron that did not come true even 
remotely, if the books are searched methodically, but I feel a bit 
lazy right now.

But generally I agree that Ron is in great danger of not surviving 
Book 8, and I sincerely hope that this isn't true and that he will 
live happily ever after.
