In Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron is confronted by the longevity of Scabbers. He supposedly hates this rat yet fanatically chases after it and is vehement in his accusation of Crookshanks. He won’t let go when a Grim or Dog grabs him and carries him to the shrieking shack. He does not want to let go when Sirius and Lupin try to show that the rat is Pettigrew. It’s almost as if he is aware of the nature of Pettigrew. Once again Ron is unavailable to assist Harry because of his newfound devotion to Scabbers.
Haven't you ever complained about something but secretly cared for it? I will moan endlessly over things I care about, I've always done that, so Ron's behavior might not be that odd. Since he was being pulled by a symbol of death, maybe he was too afraid to let go, or just didn't think about it. Then, you have a convicted murdered and a werewolf (something Ron showed displeasure at) telling him that his rat had been fooling him. Being fooled by a rat doesn't say much for you, and you're not exactly being told my the most reliable sources - one has been lying all year and the other spent twelve years in a place were most are driven crazy. Also, Sirius broke Ron's leg when he pulled him down, it got caught in a root of the Whomping Willow. He did, however, help knock Proffessor Snape out.

Goblet of Fire shows Runs true nature appearing. He is angry and what he sees as Harry’s betrayal. But, what is most interesting to the story is that Mr. Weasley is not present when the Deatheaters are spotted. And it takes a long time to find Harry in the woods. He alone gets separated completely from the others. Plus, Ron has a change of heart after seeing the dragons and tells Harry even though he is mad.
Hmm, anger at a friends betrayal, Ron is a bit of a hothead, nothing big there. It is true that Mr. Weasely wasn't in the tent asleep with the others, but there could be explainations for this such as help being needed to get the Irish to quit celebrating.
Harry is never alone in the woods, he stays with Ron and Hermione after running into Draco near the adge of the forest. The trio were separated from the twins and Ginny. After seeing your friend in a dangerous situation, wouldn't you try and fix things? I don't think it had sunk in yet that the Tournament was dangerous. All the other times Harry had been in danger had been accidents or the results of plots. In the Tournament, no one could protect Harry, he had to be in those dangerous positions.
Once again, I'll return to finish later. (I'm working with a hectic schedule, sorry.)
