When Ron does his infamous "Hermione, Neville's right, you *are* a girl" 
routine, that's just plain rude and annoying, and there's no reason to 
assume that she must feel annoyed because of her romantic interest in the 
guy.

Ok, I agree with you that it's really too soon to tell who feels what for 
who, but lighten up on Ron! Let's all keep in mind here that he was 14 
during this scene. Perhaps you were an exception amoung 14 year old boys but 
most of them are just barely out of their "Boys are better than girls! Girls 
are icky!" faze. The tone of this scene is far different from when Ron and 
Hermoine were at each others throats over Scabbers in PoA. Ron obviously 
wasn't intending to be rude, he's just a boy figuring out for the first time 
that Hermione isn't just one of the guys. Whether or not he likes her 
romantically is a different issue. I do think he's leaning that way by the 
end when Hermione and Krum are saying good-bye and Ron watches them to see 
what they're doing... but that's not the point! Ron justs acts like a 
typical 14 year old, and to those of us who are older and wiser that may 
appear to be rude and annoying. Realistically he's relatively normal. As for 
Hermione's feelings, 14 year old boys are too oblivious to ponder the girls 
feelings. Obviously Hermione doesn't understand Ron's feelings either. She 
clearly thought him slighting her was personal, but once again he is a 
typical 14 year old boy. He just doesn't get it, as Harry observed after the 
fight was over.
