Thank you, oh newly-elected President of the R/He fanclub!  

I know it sounded like I was contradicting myself in that post, but I 
was considering/posing a number of alternatives.  Thanks for 
correcting me on a few of them (especially the one above).

Also, re the question I posed about Cho, I'd agree that friends are 
far more important than crushes and perhaps even than lovers (unless 
they are also friends).  I guess I was thinking of this as a 
comparison with He/K, in that Hermione was not much more than a crush 
to Krum at the time of the Tournament.  

Independently of the shipping forecasts, I'm a Ron Weasley fan, so 
please don't 'Grrrr' at me <g>
