Julia replies:
I think that they are both lucky to have each other. But we should 
note that it is Ron who was brought up in a normal, loving family 
with six sibilings! And Harry - not only he is the only child 
(Dudley isn't his brother) but he has never had a proper family. IMO 
Ron should know that. And while Harry have "rights" to not know how 
to behave in such a situation (his lack of experience) Ron is the 
one who should know, react and understand Harry.
Now, I'm impressed that Harry even though he had a REALLY hard 
childhood  still has some priorities, is not spoiled and exists in 
society without problems.
