      Sandy: 
 But, since GoF, I have formed a totally 
negative position towards Ron where Hermione is concerned. It has nothing, however, to do with the above mentioned things. It has to do with the fact that he shows no care, concern or respect for Hermione at all. I consider his treatment of her to be abusive and chauvanistic.
   
  Catherine now:
  Firstly, I don't think JKR would write a potentially abusive relationship between any characters, let alone Ron and Hermione. But mostly, we're dealing with teenagers here. And seriously, not all teenagers can see past the ends of their noses to how their behaviors may affect someone around them. Ron is notorious for "having the emotional range of a teaspoon" if I remember the quote correctly. He really doesn't understand girls at all, nor does Harry. It's part of growing up. What man can really say that he understands women??? I have enough trouble trying to understand myself half the time, let alone worrying about if my husband understands me!  I think it's all pretty innocent between the two of them. They are both trying to deny the feelings they've had for each other, pretty much from the start. Both worried that the other one doesn't feel the same way, so they bicker. They get jealous and angry at each other, and then finally, when the proverbial manure really hits
 the fan, they are there for each other, and you know what...that's what counts.

  (Who once had a boyfriend ask her if she would like him to tell her "everything I hate about you". Teenagers can be pretty stupid when it comes to love and feelings! But he was not, and never became an abusive person or have an abusive personality, he was just an idiot at that time, and since grew out of it...)
