Analysis

In  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it reads, " 'So, why are you still here?' Harry asked Ron. 'Search me,' said Ron. 'Go home then,' said Harry.  'Yeah maybe I will!' shouted Ron, and he took several steps toward Harry, who didn't back away. 'Didn't you hear what they said about my sister? But you don't give a rat's fart, do you, it's only the Forbidden Forest, Harry  I've-Faced-Worse Potter doesn't care what happens to her in here- well, I do , all right giant spiders and mental stuff-' 'I was only saying - she was with the others, they were with Hagrid-' 'Yeah, I get it, you don't care! And what about the rest of my family, 'the Weasleys don't need another kid injured,' did you hear that?' 'Yeah I-' 'Not bothered what it meant, though?' 'Ron!' said Hermione, forcing her way between them. ' I don't think it means anything new happened, anything we don't know about; think, Ron, Bill's already scarred, plenty of people must have seen that George has lost an ear by now, and you're supposed to be on your deathbed with spattergoit, I'm sure that's all he meant-'Oh, you're sure are you? Right then, I won't bother myself about them. It's alright for you two, isn't it, with your parents safely out of the way-' 'My parents are dead!' Harry bellowed." (Rowling

Analysis-
Ron seems to be very insensitive to the current situation. He feels left out and is a little jealous that Hermione is giving Harry more attention and siding with Harry on decisions. Ron feels inferior to Harry and the locket (Horcurx) is only making matters worse because the Horcurx makes you feel dark and like your carrying extra weight because the piece of Voldemort's soul is giving off that aura. Ron also, feels kind of useless since he was injured when they Apparated away from the Ministry into the Quidditch World Cup field. Another thing that is contributing to Ron's mood id the fact that he just heard news about his family that is not the most reassuring his sister has been punished by Snape for trying to steal the Sword of Gryffindor even though it'd a fake and Ginny, Snape and the other don't know that. And when Phineas comments that no more Weasely kids need injured he fears the worse even though that might not be the case. So, when Harry and Hermione comment on this as though it's not too terrible he explodes on them and says some unforgivable things like that their parents are safe and out of harms way unlike his parents. This is a major blow not only to Harry but Hermione as well because Harry no longer has parents. He never even got the chance to know them like Ron and Hermione got to know theirs. This is a major blow to Hermione because she had to physically remove all of her parents memories of her and watch them go live a new life without her. Harry and Hermione are trying to be patient with Ron but for Harry and Ron this was the last straw they have been insulting each other even though they are best mates. Hermione is trying to keep them calm and from tearing each other to pieces but Ron is determined to make Harry and Hermione feel as guilty as possible.(Rowling 306-307)

Inferences-

I can infer that Harry will have internal conflict with this moment and the rest of the argument that ensued before this snippet of text because he wants to be furious with Ron for being inconsiderate and only thinking about himself and his problems, but Harry also wants to forgive him for being rude because he is so loyal and him and Ron have been through so much together it would be silly to let an argument ruin their friendship.

From this I can infer that the Horcrux is tearing the trio apart and that even though they are taking turns wearing the Horcrux that some of these feelings are true, I can infer this because Ron has always been some what jealous of Harry for getting all the attetion and I think that here is where Ron lets it all out espically when he calls Harry , Harry I've-Faced- Worse Potter.  When Ron does this and accuses him of not caring about what happens to the Weasleys and that Harry's parents are safe this sets off Harry causing Hermione to chose a side which is a very though spot to be in.
