Well said, Ebony!  <g>  I think a Ron/Herm pairing of some sort in the
canon may indeed be inevitable.  I am still a strong believer in the
Farmer in the Dell theory (that Hermione likes Harry, not Ron) but ....
a canon pairing of Ron & Hermione does not mean they eventually get
married & live happily ever after.  They're teenagers.  Ron will get
tired of being shown up by his superstar girlfriend, and Hermione will
get tired of always arguing & bickering with her boyfriend.  It doesn't
stand much chance of lasting.  So, they date .... leaving Hermione free
to date Harry in adulthood (in the PoU sense or otherwise).

Jim makes some excellent observations about Harry perhaps being a
commitment-phobe until the whole Voldemort business is put to rest.  I
especially liked his take on the Harry/Krum scene, because I too thought
it seemed a bit "off" (of course, I thought it was just my strong H/H
shippiness coming through).  Jim's interpretation makes alot of sense.
I assume the Voldemort business will be tackled in a final way in Book 7
... leaving the H/H ship for adulthood (which is what most all H/H
shippers want/believe will/would happen anyway).  This scenario would
also make also those "no-shippers" during the canon folks happy.
