I think so, too.

Ron might be like Percy in some ways, but they don't seem very
similar in general to me.

Both are looking for approval, but in very different ways.

Fred and George probably get most of their approval needs
met by each other (and their classmates), and don't look for
it as much from their parents.

Percy has had a lot of success with his way of approval
seeking from Molly and the Hogwarts system (prefect, Head
boy), while Ron was basically overlooked a lot by his
parents, as far as I see it.

The prefect badge was something that caught Molly's
attention, but otherwise Ron mostly seemed to get noticed by
her when something went wrong.
