<p>Ron, in that respect, is a youngest and is used to
constant making <br>
compromises, and so he would be giving in to Hermione a

But in Kevin Lemin's evaluations, he takes into account sex order as
well as birth order- so youngest of the boys also counts as a
youngest. And, near the bottom of a large family puts them more in
the youngest category than a middle of the family category. Point
is, when paired with a first born, the first born is dominant, and
the middle or youngest child becomes the compromising one, or the
one giving in all the time to make things flow better.<br>
