The H/H kiss.... and other stuff

Er, this would be my take on the kiss that Hermione gives Harry in GoF.

I can't see that it proves Hermione likes Harry.  In fact, I would argue 
that it could prove she *doesn't* like Harry.  I suspect that most 
(younger) girls would be very reluctant to kiss a guy they liked for fear 
that it would give away their secret crush.  Therefore, when she kisses 
Harry she's not thinking from the POV of a girl with a crush, she's 
thinking from the POV of a friend and nothing more.  I know I wouldn't have 
dreamed of it (although I admit I don't identify with Hermione much).  And 
I don't know who posted this (I've been away) but that could explain why 
the girls in this persons class (or whatever it was) supported R/H rather 
than H/H.

And on to other things . . .

Someone a few weeks ago mentioned how the R/H shippers tend to be quieter 
than the H/H one and attributed this to the fact that the R/H supporters 
are less vocal.  I'm an R/H supporter (although definatly not as um, 
obsessed? as some H/H fans).  I don't have any problems being vocal about 
my opinions.  Quite frankly I enjoy getting into discussions about 
disagreements and different opinions.  However, I do think that there's a 
point in time when discussing different opinions becomes pointless.  I 
think discussing the H/H vs. H/R argument *is* pointless.  No matter how 
many logical arguments I and other H/R supporters come up with it's never 
going to change the opinion of H/H supporters like Penny.  What will happen 
is that both of us will continue through the same cycle of arguments for or 
against the pairings ad nauseum (is that spelled right?).  And eventually, 
this could easily lead to misunderstandings and possibly hurt feelings.

I stated my reasons for preferring H/R (although I have no idea what 
message number that is) a few months ago and chose to leave it at 
that.  There's a point in time when people just have to stop discussing 
something; they need to agree to disagree.  I think the romance debate 
reached that point a long time ago.  Therefore, I just don't post about it.

That's why *this* Hermione/Ron fan isn't as vocal about it.  And hopefully 
this makes sense.
