Ariana:
Yes, I would put Ron at the top of a hot list of targets for manipulation,
blackmail or possession. Aside from anything, the effect on Harry when he
discovered that his best friend betrayed him (even against his will) would
be devastating. And the books certainly don't hold back from anything
devastating to Harry. ;)

I'm not sure about Imperio, though, as I got the impression that spell seems
to cause the victim to behave in a dream-like state. On the other hand, I
think I'm basing my impression on the description of what it feels like for
the victim, so it must be possible to make the victim look normal, or the
Death Eaters who used it as a defence couldn't have evaded Azkaban!
