The size of the subject depends on its importance to the individual.   
Hermione considers house elves as enslaved, Ron comments that his mother would  like 
to have one for doing the ironing.  Such differing opinions on  slavery were 
one of the reasons for the US civil war.  This is one subject  that either Ron 
or Hermione will need to make a full turn around on if they are  to ever be a 
couple.
 
Second, if Ron truly likes Hermione, he should be concerned that she is  
writing Victor such a lengthy letter.  It could be completely innocent  and just 
as a pen pal, but as Ron says, Victor wanted more than to be a pen pal  to 
Hermione.
 
These subjects may not be as important as Voldemo's return, but the are  
every bit as important as Harry's relationship to Cho.
