I will be, too. I don't think I'd want to re-visit the
series, if it ended with the death of the main kids,
including Neville.

If you mean that Harry has suffered more than Ron, yes,
definitely. I wouldn't use the word superior in this
context, though.

I shift between the characters, depending on what is
happening to them. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Percy,
Ginny and many others have all had my compassion and pity
throughout the story.

Harry is more often in that position, certainly, but I'm not
sure any of this has much to do with shipping anymore,
unless you think Harry's suffering would make it more likely
for Hermione to choose a relationship with Harry, instead of
Ron.
