I agree with what others are saying here.  Harry is Ron's best friend
and they tell each other their problems.  Ron's complaints are valid. 
Also, maybe we all forget what it's like to be a teen, always trying
to find your place in the scheme of things (and none of us had to
fight the Dark Lord while we were navigating our way through these
uncertain times).  If the characters were so perfect that they never
complained or were never know-it-alls, they would be boring and
unrealistic and the books wouldn't have the charm that they do!
