And another thing about Ron...

I suspect that the reason fanon Ron is so horrid is that he's one of the most fleshed out of the canon characters. Draco is evil and needs to be reformed. Harry we don't really know well, despite his narrator duties. Most of the other characters are either blank slates or the most obvious of caricatures. Ron is one of the few people who we see not just as a villain and not just as a hero. We see him at home, we know, to some extent, what makes him tick. This is the reason I love him in canon, but it makes him less interesting to mess with in fanfiction. There are less blanks to fill in and there is less leeway for the inexperienced author. This leads to him being less interestingly modified and less explored by writers.
