Annemehr:
I also wonder why we had to miss Ron's Quidditch triumph. 

Bookworm:
Because for some reason it is important to keep Ron either out of 
the Forbidden Forest or away from the centaurs.  IIRC, the only 
centaur Ron has met is Firenze - when he because the Divination 
Teacher.

PS/SS - Ron was in the hospital wing whtn Harry, Neville, Hermione, 
and Draco went on detention with Hagrid.  Harry met Bane and Ronan.

CoS - Harry and Ron follow the spiders and meet Aragog.

PoA - Ron was in the hospital again when TT!Harry and TT!Hermione 
were in the Forest with Sirius.

GoF - Hagrid took Harry around the edge of the Forest to see the 
dragons.  Later, Harry and Krum were talking at the edge of the 
Forest when Crouch Senior appeared.

OoP - Harry and Hermione go into the Forest with Hagrid to meet 
Grawp while Ron was playing Quidditch.  Later Harry and Hermione 
lead Umbridge there.  Grawp, Umbridge and the centaurs were gone 
before Ron and the others found Harry and Hermione.

Harry has been in, or at least on the edge of, the Forest in every 
book, and has met the centaurs twice.  Hermione has been in the 
Forest three times and has been with Harry both times he met the 
sentaurs.  Ron has only been in the Forest twice, and has never met 
the centaurs.  Somehow I doubt this is just coincidence.
