When we think of what their fears are, we realize just how much they were still kids, especially in the third book. Seriously, spiders? And Hermione with McGonogall (though I can completely emphasize with the fear of failing, the manifestation was a bit pitiful.)
Harry was afraid of dementors. And that may have been even more instinctual than actually wise.
I mean, if I was living in that time at the thick of it I'd have a boggart more like Mrs. Weasley's in OotP.

And Ron and Spiders probably got mentioned at around 2-4 times in each of the eariler books .
