It'd be interesting to read a traitor Ron story written intelligently by the right author.
I love it when he uncovers Hermione's hats so the elves can see what they're picking up.
I actually wrote more on SPEW but cut it to fit earlier, but I'd like to see some resolution of that arc in DH, either directly with the house elves, or perhaps just noting Hermione campaigned for reform creatures' rights in the future. The setup seems like it should lead somewhere.
I liked Ron's part in that as well. It's kind of interesting because neither of them are really right. Ron feels Hermione's approach is wrong because it ignores what the house elves want, but he's happy enough keeping the status quo. Meanwhile Hermione’s knows slavery is wrong but fails to see Ron’s point. Did she ever even try to discuss the issue with Dobby? He’d be a good place to start. And her approach was so short sighted, as if knitting hats during a school year can overturn hundreds of years of history.
