I find it curious that you think her relationship with Harry is the 
sibling type of relationship, given your description of her 
relationship with Ron.  Coming from a family of 5 siblings (and 
having three children of my own) I'd say the way Ron and Hermione 
interact is much more sibling-like than the way she interacts with 
Harry.
