Anyone kind of annoyed with how Ron is treated?

I love Ron. He is my second favorite character (right behind the win that is Neville Longbottom and tied with Ginny).
I like Ron because while he tends to be your stereotypical sidekick (i.e. - less than stellar grades, eats a lot, failures tend to be the comic relief, etc) he goes against it at the same time, and I think is one of the more complex characters, even if he tends to be a bit simple-minded.

I find that Ron tends to get put down in fanfiction, forums, and even once by an actor or producer (although I don't remember who it was).

It's like, I get it, he left, but you heard him, he tried to come back the moment he was gone. Being a sidekick, he has always been weaker, so it would make sense that the locket would hurt him the most. It all seemed to be the locket because - again - the moment he left, he tried to return.

Maybe I'm just being overprotective fangirl, but I wish people would be a bit nicer.
