I happen to think that the three have an *extremely* close
relationship. They don't sit around discussing their friendship because
people don't do that kind of thing till they're in college and drinking
illegal-to-have Bartles & Jaymes Wine coolers in their dorm rooms at 3 in
the morning and they are only 14. Besides, I think that they have sort
of reached a place beyond words, especially after Harry's last meeting
with Voldemort. Right now none of them are quite ready to have the heavy
discussion regarding what happened. But Harry knows, or *should* know,
that Ron and Hermione are "lay down in front of traffic for him" sort
of friends. They always stick by him during the most difficult times,
except for Ron's peeve against Harry re: the Triwizard tourney, but even
that was less to do about Harry and more to do with Ron's feelings about
chronically being overshadowed by others. In both PoA and GoF all three
have attempted hexes and charms simultaneously, cementing their communal
thinking. This is a group which will only grow stronger together, no
matter what happen in the "shippy" side of life.
