 I can't believe my eyes. Your post has two main points:
1) In the H/Hr scenario Ron character is certainly mistreated from 
JKR and HP.

reply: In love and war there are no restraints. If I were HP and I 
had found my soulmate, named Hr, I would fight for her love even 
with the devil himself. Of course in this situation where all are 
best friends the best working scenario is the direct confrontation. 
Face to face all three of them until the final resolution of the 
case. But to expect HP  to back down and to turn his back to 
happiness which is his only desire throughout his hard life,  
without a fight is out of the question. This is also an insult to 
Ron character because he wins Hr only because HP backs down and not 
because he is better than HP in the eyes of Hr.   


2) HP is a weak, subservient and without will person. 

reply:Do you honestly believe that? HP chooses carefully his battles 
with Hr. If he doesn't have any interest to the subject in matter he 
remains cool and calm but when he is resolved to do something, I 
think he can put the fear of God to the bossy Hr.
