I think the 'Ron the Deatheater' cliche came about by people playing up Ron's jealosy of Harry's fame, apparant fortune and girls throwing themselves at him (whaether he's interested or not), and turning it up to 12.
as for Snape, I've seen some (bad) fics where it seems every time someone stubs their toe, or spills a drink, Snape is claiming that Harry is responsible, Or where Snape is giving Crabbe and Goyle point for tying their shoes properly. Maybe those fics pissed me off more than I thought.
Another aspect of 'The ancient House of Potter' usually involves Harry suddenly getting a seat/vote(s) on the wizgammot (or whatever the governing body is called) and suddenly weilding massive political power.
Hmmm, There's also the Harry's animagus form is a powerful magical animal (Pheonix, basalisk, dragon, ect) despite no one ever getting a magical animagus form before.
