>I still think a Harry/Hermione rel not a very strong possibility, and
a Ron/Hermione rel totally unrealistic (IMHO) ;-)

Agree with first; totally disagree with second. JKR practically beat us
over the head in GoF to indicate that Ron and Hermione like each other
romantically. Ron doesn't realize it, but he was completely jealous of
Krum and acted extremely childishly at the yule ball. Hermione, IMO,
knows that she likes Ron, but since she isn't stupid, she isn't going
to tell him point blank. She wants to see if he likes her.

JKR remembers being 14 very well, and seems able to imagine 14 year old
boy behavior as well.

Well, maybe Harry will meet someone special in one of the future novels.

----
I really dont think that Harry will have any lasting special relationships
in the seven books, but meeting a new person is the best chance. I just
don't see him with anyone we've been introduced to to date.

Romantic Relationships just aren't where JKR is taking this book
series. They are sidebars at best.

QUESTION: where do the terms ship and shippers come from, as in
Harry/Ginny shippers.
