Well he isn't worth it now, anyway. Maybe this is what the Weasel needs to become a better Ron.
I think the Baron has begun to fade. The older ghosts are less present than the younger ones, and I think sticking around so long as made them fade. It's like memories you no longer access; they become harder to get to. Some things are so deeply ingrained they're habit or reflex, and the ghosts probably often couldn't tell you why they do this instead of that anymore. But maybe that will change if people begin to interact with them more?
I like the idea that both Lavender and Blaise are superficial, too, but in their own ways. That maybe those ways are more compatible? That maybe it's advantageous to be around people who don't judge you for certain traits? If they aren't helping you shake them (and wouldn't it suck if everyone were reduced to a single "optimal" type?), then at least it must help to be around people who don't see it as a flaw and count it against you.
