I really like sarcastic!Ron, because it seems like a throwback to early!Ron (of PS through PoA, and maybe GoF as well). I stopped enjoying Ron much around OotP. He just became too pathetic at that point.
* Oh, Dean, don't. "I know Harry Potter, and I reckon he's the real thing -- the Chosen One, or whatever you want to call it." What makes yoiu think that, Dean? His mellow temper? His excellent leadership skills? What?
Yeah, this I don't get. Why should anyone believe in Harry? He's had adventures, sure. He's also temperamental, moody and insular. All of this could add up to "future dark lord" as easily as it could add up to 'hero.'
Btw, I don't think Harry was *possessed* by Voldie in Book 5, was he? I thought he was just "influenced"--e.g., most of his bad impulses came from Voldemort, so he has no real responsibility for them, but he was fully conscious and remembered what he did.
