I understand where you're coming from in saying this (other people's
POVs) but why can't two people simply be best friends without everyone
jumping up and shouting, "slash couple!" (I was going to say "gay",
but I figured that sounded a little much)?  [Replies directed to OT,
please] No one would do that if it were two girls as best friends. 
Just my thought.  I thought the movie portrayed Harry & Ron's
developing close friendship very very nicely (though there's much to
be said about how it portrayed Hermione's role as a friend).  I also
think it's in Hermione's natural disposition to be nice, kind, etc. 
Though the speech delivered over Ron's possibly-seriously injured body
was in bad taste!  I mean, he was knocked out cold & here they are
wasting time when for all they know he could be dying?  Bad Columbus...
