Alla:

I would not have replied at all, since this is the speculative type 
of argument and eventually of one says yes, another says no, and 
both possibilities are equal interpretation IMO( I mean, obviously 
they are not equal for me, since not in my wildest dream I can see 
Ron joining Voldemort, but we are not at the end of the journey yet, 
so of course I cannot say with 100% certainty that Ron will not 
join).

In any event the reason I am responding is the sentence about 
Hermione. Are you arguing in effect that the only reason Ron will 
not join is because of Hermione? Blinks.

Does his own devotion to Harry not counts at all? Is this fight in 
GoF crosses out Ron willing to die for Harry in book 1, book 3, book 
5?

I mean, yes, Ron has issues, Ron works on them, Ron matures as you 
said. What else is in the books that may lead us to believe that Ron 
will become DE?

Yeah, he may have been feeling gealous of Harry. That happens, but 
he came back running the moment he realised that Harry's life is 
truly in danger. By the way, him being jealous is not the only 
possibility, he may have also feeling betrayed ( look up wonderful 
post by Dicentra - it is in the recommended pre OOP posts database 
and called chronology of the rift - I think).

I do not justify Ron, he hurt Harry and badly. But that happens 
between best friends, between fourteen year olds best friends.

I just think that it is stretching big time to use this fight as 
indication that Ron will become Death Eater.

Of course, JKR can still do it, but I  find it unlikely.

Of course just my opinion,
