It’s kind of a shame JKR couldn’t have given Ron something here. Since Harry is the one all the girls are throwing themselves at and the one who gets to be the big hero and the sports champion and the Tri-wizard champion, maybe throw Ron a bone and make him the one who knows about girls? Instead Harry is everything: he’s the one that’s popular, but then also gets to be the everyman who worries about getting a date, and then also gets to be the cool guy who gets a date for his friend. And even when Ron starts getting some action in HBP it's always portrayed as if he's the slow one.
Harry's a bit like Jez in the BBC series Peep Show. Jez is a total loser, but he hangs around with Mark cos Mark's a slightly bigger loser and Jez can feel superior.
