Notes:

If your secret contains the name or logo of the series or is addressed like "Dear Fandom X, I think Y about you" there's no need to mark down the fandom again in the post. (Kinda figured this was a given, but…)

Ginny doesn't have much interaction with the Trio until OotP really.

I agree that I doubt the Weasley boys (and probably Ginny to a lesser extent) are great letter writers. I've seen several fanfics where Harry is astonished by how little Ron writes home, because if he had a home to write to, he'd do it as often as possible. But with the Weasleys, it probably feels like there's no need to write unless there's something to tell. This was before Voldemort rose again, so it's not like he was worried for their safety or anything. Especially Ron would just get caught up in the regular dramas of school life, and the massive dramas that come with being best friends with Harry. I know that when I was a kid going away on week/fortnight long school trips, writing home always seemed like a chore, because I'd think, "Well, I'm going to see them soon and I can tell them all about it when I get back." It felt like homework.

Wow, that got long.

Also, I'm not sure Ron even noticed about the egg. I know Harry did (else the readers wouldn't have been told) but I'm fairly certain Ron just breezed past it with all the unintentional callousness of a fifteen-year-old boy.

Right, thank you!

...Wow, I really need to re-read the earlier books, don't I? :D (read 1, and 7 recently, but not 2-6).

It got long, but it was awesome, and explained everything way better than I ever could. :)

but I'm fairly certain Ron just breezed past it with all the unintentional callousness of a fifteen-year-old boy.

THIS. Why don't people realize that nobody's perfect, teens less so because they haven't had as much pracise? >_>

Completely. I mean, even the nicest of teenagers can be really horrible, even if they don't mean to; being really self-involved is just part and parcel of adolescence. Your own problems, petty as they might seem to someone with more maturity, are just these huge tragedies. You're too busy dealing with your own drama, that quite often you're oblivious to everyone else's, and I think Ron was very much like that, in a way Harry wasn't because of the way he grew up, and Hermione wasn't because she was just a lot more mature.

Plus, while Harry had a horrible upbringing, he never had the same feeling of being overshadowed that Ron did, I think. Dudley was spoiled, to be true, but it wasn't the same as having six older brothers and a younger sister.

There have even been studies into the way the brains of teens work, and they've proven that brains do not work the same way at 15 and 35, so why would we expect characters to act like adults when they're not?
