Susan responded: <<<Well, I'm the un-shipper. The handshake/hug scene was NOT canon, and again, I say that JKR, does not introduce any hint that Ron and Hermione are interested in each other until the GoF.>>>>>>>>

Actually, CoS *does* set the foundation for Ron's burgeoning interest in Hermione (and there are messages from me in the Archives from pre-GoF to prove it), and PoA builds on that to a limited extent.  Ron's GoF crush on Hermione doesn't come completely out of nowhere!  However, there's no canon, IMO, to show whether Hermione is definitively interested in Ron, Harry, Krum or noone.  It's very ambiguous!  Not to start a shipping war, but being the H/H shipper that I am, I loved the infirmary scene with Harry stroking her hand (albeit certainly not canon) and the H/H hug ..... 

<<<<And furthermore, why would Hermione be interested in the Ron Weasley 
pportrayed in the CoS?>>>>

Er.... why would she be interested in canon!Ron either, asks the H/H shipper with a gleeful smile?  :--)
