Um, at least in my part of the world, the joke about Uranus isn't a butt sex 
comment, but more of a grade school (elementary school- under 5th or 6th 
grade) comment, once these kids connect that Uranus, the planet, sounds like 
the body part that is used in pooping. This comment Ron makes to Lavender 
just shows him to be deftly immature, not that he's interesting in anal sex, 
or wanting to see her rear end at all. I think Rowling wasn't trying to put 
in a hidden sexual spin on that comment of Ron's, because that doesn't fit 
the level of innocence of the rest of the series.
