Del replies :
That's exactly the scenario Ron had imagined. He had *never* expected
to be made prefect, he had thought all along that it would be Harry.

"Normally Ron would feel jealousy as any other person in his position
but with one great difference. Ron has proved in GOF that jealousy
"OVERWHELMS" him and when happens that he acts in a rather
"UNFRIENDLY" way towards the person he is jealous of."

Del replies :
I personally don't believe in Jealous!Ron. Ron wasn't jealous in GoF,
he was hurt, because he felt Harry had betrayed him by not sharing
with him how to get past the age line.

If you look all over the rest of the books, you'll see that jealousy
is  most definitely *not* one of Ron's traits. A bit of envy
sometimes, but never jealousy.

And Ron would not have been jealous if Harry had been Prefect, because
that's exactly what he was expecting.
