Ron's insolence is extremely underrated
"Ten points from Ravenclaw, Fawcett!" Snape snarled as a girl ran past him.
"And ten points from Hufflepuff too, Stebbins!" as a boy went rushing after her. "And what are you two doing?" he added, catching sight of Harry and Ron on the path ahead.
Karkaroff, Harry saw, looked slightly discomposed to see them standing there. His hand went nervously to his goatee, and he began winding it around his finger.
"We re walking," Ron told Snape shortly. "Not against the law, is it?"
"Keep walking, then!" Snape snarled, and he brushed past them, his long black cloak billowing out behind him. Karkaroff hurried away after Snape. Harry and Ron continued down the path.

Filch was standing at the oak front doors as usual, checking off the names of people who had permission to go into Hogsmeade. The process took even longer than normal as Filch was triple-checking everybody with his Secrecy Sensor.
"What does it matter if we're smuggling Dark stuff OUT?" demanded Ron, eyeing the long thin Secrecy Sensor with apprehension. "Surely you ought to be checking what we bring back IN?"
His cheek earned him a few extra jabs with the Sensor, and he was still wincing as they stepped out into the wind and sleet.

I swear I'm laughing every time I read those sentences in the books.
The first one is one of the best burns of the series said against Snape, as far as I'm concerned. This boy has no chill seriously.
The second example shows one of the reasons no one can consider Ron stupid. He's got common sense, critical thinking and he's witty. What else do you need really ?

There’s a French bakery here celebrating their anniversary today by giving out special… bags for storing baguette! Coincidence 👻?!? Or a sign that we’re connected via shared love of 🥖?!? -🧡🥖
P.S. My faves together?!? Give frannyzooey a passport bonk on the forehead for me!
PS: passport bonk delivered to the magnificent genius @frannyzooey who laughed her beautiful laughter and said thanks 🥰
Did you get that special bag? What does it look like? I'm genuinely curious. Storing baguettes so they'll still be crusty in the morning is a very serious national issue, here, and a problem that hasn't been resolved yet. I'm pretty sure the elite scientists at the CNRS are actively working on it as we speak.
And love, of course we are connected, by much more than just our shared love of 🥖, which, given the impressive proportions of said 🥖, is already a sizeable connection...
