Steven1965aaa:

I can't get over all this Ron bashing.  Ok, so the guy has some 
immaturity issues, no question.  But come on, for the following 
moment, alone, he outshines every student at the school with the 
exception of Harry and possibly Hermione:

"If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" he said 
fiercely, though the effort of standing upright was draining him of 
still more color, and he swayed slightly as he spoke." (POA p.339, 
spoken to someone he believed to be a mass murderer). 

If any character in the books (much less any other candidate for 
prefect) other than Harry and Dumbledore has had a more stand-up 
moment than that, let me know.
