Not at all; while the various shippers have some really good 
arguments for their viewpoints, I figure JKR will still take the 
simple approach.

Very good point.  I agree with this, as well.

Right, I think these kids are not very mature yet, though Herm is 
doing pretty well, but the next few books will certainly show a 
change in them.

Yes, we may not see the 'ever after' part, but I do think the kids 
will live.

just cannot believe we won't see her more fleshed out by the end.
