Tina:

    Ron has always been in the shadow of his brothers, so it would be easy to let him fall between the cracks so to speak (ie: Mrs Wealey forgetting that he hates corned beef), I think by making prefect and making the Quidditch team (and after their ban under the scrutiny of the twins) he has shown that he is capable of many great things. I think that when Dumbledore made the decision to make Ron a prefect, he knew that Ron needed the boost to discover this within himself.
