I've often wondered if, at some point, Ron won't do something stupid 
(against the Cause) for money.  Not really a bribe, per se ... but 
that he might come across a chance to gain money and his actions 
might cause problems.  

As I read the complaints about money, I've never taken them as just 
whining.  I can feel his hatred for his condition, I can see that he 
greatly wants to overcome this condition, and I wonder to what 
lengths he might go...  Am I the only one with these (troublesome) 
thoughts?
