Of course Harry is envious (I think that's a more accurate word) of 
Ron's family.  I think anyone who was an orphan and had been raised 
by an aunt and uncle that hated them would feel the same. Family is 
the most important thing to a growing kid - Ron would feel the same 
in Harry's position.  My own take is however that this does not 
necessarily mean that Harry would be more inclined to be home-body 
than Ron. In fact, based on all we've seen, I think Harry would be 
amongst the last people to sit at home and let others have the 
adventures.

I agree that Ron loves adventure as much as Harry.  I agree that he 
is extremely ambitious. However, I think the thing that many of us 
pick up on, is the similarity of the Ron/ Hermione interactions with 
that of Mother/ Child. I, for one, don't want to see Hermione become 
a 'Molly'.  I think Hermione herself is more ambitious and deserves 
a fuller life.  Whether this is with someone outside the trio, or 
within the trio, is neither here nor there.

Just my two-bobs worth.
