I was just reading throught the books again before the movie comes out, and I noticed that Ron seems to be able to sense when things aren't what they seem to be- In Book 1, he warned Harry not to go back to the Mirror of Erised, in Book 2, he didn't trust Riddle's diary from the start, and in Book 3, he knew there was something abnormal about Crookshanks. I haven't started on Book 4 yet, but when I notice something in it and Book 5, I'll post it here if someone else hasn't already. My question is, why didn't he realize there was something strange about Scabbers? Could it be because he had been in the family so long and he was just used to him? And is there a name for this ability (besides intuition)?
"You're disturbing...yet intriguing. Like couscous. I'm gonna call you Couscous from now on."
I think you're right about that, Grant.... Ron does need something to make him "special"
I'm wondering though... could the fact be that he's now playing Quidditch, and will possibly get got at it, be the thing that will help him to be special?

That's interesting! He may be a late bloomer when it comes to sporting talents But I think the fact that he's often jealous of Harry's fame and popularity, gives a little indication that he's in for something to make him recognised.
Which is really all he wants.

Yes, that's true... he loves Harry, like a brother, but he is extremely jealous of him.
I think that having Hermione fall in-love with him will help do the trick though.
He will have something really good... something that Harry doesn't have.

I don't look to see Ron become a great Quiddich player. I think he may end up being head boy and working for the M.O.M. That would please his parents, and that would mean a lot to him.
But he wants to be the best out of all of them. It has to be partially due to wanting to please his mom. Look at Hermione, she is very much like Mrs. Weasley.
