And can you just see how he would have been treated by
others (Fred and George, for example)?

Ron had trouble with them, because they are his older
brothers, but they would have not listened to Neville,
either.

Neville is a wonderful guy, and he is one of my favorite
characters, but I don't believe it would have been kind to
make him a prefect (and I'm not sure Neville would have
liked it after the initial surprise and happiness).
He isn't looking to stand out, like Ron, who learned that
getting the badge doesn't automatically get you all sorts of
right without having to put in some serious work.

Anyhow, of all the people who were candidates for the badge,
I don't see Ron being any worse than any of the others.
Ron has shown courage and loyalty, and has his heart in the
right place.

BTW, Hermione also took her bad mood out on younger
students, not just Ron.
Hermione can be a bit hypocritical when it comes to others.
