DH some fans were asking about Neville and Luna, but I thought JKR had
already married Luna off to someone else.

Carol again:

The idea comes from the Blue Peter special July 20, 2007. (Can that
date be right? It's just before the book came out?):

"JKR: Ummmm ... sometimes characters misbehave a little bit, and want
to do their own thing. But I think I know them very very well, so
they've never really taken me by surprise. Except -- I can say this
because it hasn't happened but there is speculation at one point on
the internet that Neville and Luna would end up together (audience
giggles). And I said, "No, that won't happen." But you know what,
while writing Seven, I started to feel a bit of a pull between Luna
and Neville in a way. I started to see how that could work, but it
hasn't happened. That was an interesting thing. The moment I'd said,
"Of course, they would never fancy each other," I go... I don't
know... You know, I kind of see that."

Guess I was a bit too optimistic that it meant JKR was actually
considering having Neville and Luna marry. Apparently, she's decided
on Rolf Scamander for Luna and Hufflepuff Hannah for Neville. Probably
better matches all around. 

Carol, conceding that Neville would probably at a constant loss trying
to understand Luna, but the idea was fun while it lasted
