I mean, I think it's very important that Ron (like Luna later, or even Young!Snape) shows himself as someone who Harry can sympathise (to his limited extent) with [...] while also remaining someone he can feel better than.
I agree. Not to anticipate the next chapter, but Harry's preference for Ron over Draco seems to be less about which of them is worthy and much more about how they make him feel. It definitely doesn't hurt Ron's chances that he's so obviously willing to be second banana to a celebrity.
