 By the way, people go on and on about Harry's bad behavior but 
 forget that Ron acted about a thousand times worse in GoF than 
Harry  ever did, and for one tenth the provocation.

 I very often jump in to defend Harry's behaviour. I don't forget 
how Ron acted in GoF and do think that was quite a low blow he dealt 
Harry. But can we also not to forget that Ron WAS 14 and 14 year old 
 boys, even best friends often fight with good reasons and for NO 
REASON at all.
 
Just as I see Harry's behaviour in OOP as nothing unusual 
under circumstances he found himself in, I see nothing unusual in 
Ron's behaviour. He got gealous (IMO), he got over it.
 
As an avid reader of HP fanfiction, I find it very wierd that so 
many fanfiction writers tend to take GOF fight and blow it SO out of 
proportion (in my opinion, of course)
 
 All Ron's loyalty to Harry gets forgotten (him willing to die in 
PS/SS, in PoA) because of one fight. Curious, very curious.
