Dear Kathi hello.  Below you will find the definitions of jealousy and
envy:  	  
		
	1	    Jealousy is the feeling of anger or bitterness which someone
has when they think that another person is trying to take a lover or
friend, or a possession, away from them.
	
	    
	2	    Jealousy is the feeling of anger or bitterness which someone
has when they wish that they could have the qualities or possessions
that another person has.

     		
	1	 Envy is the feeling you have when you wish you could have the same
thing or quality that someone else has.
		
	    
	2	   If you envy someone, you wish that you had the same things or
qualities that they have.
		
>From the above is quite clear that in GOF and in general Ron is rather
jealous than envious as a person.
