I agree that it certain isn't any kind of definite proof that 
Hermione likes Harry by any means. When I look at that, and by 
extension the kiss in GoF, etc. I see JKR leaving her options open. 
IMHO, canon could go either way from this point out and let's say it 
did tend H/H --we'd all look back and say, "Aha! THAT'S why she 
talked about Harry all the time." Or, if it went R/H, we'd say "AHA! 
THAT'S why she scowled at Fleur." IMHO there is nothing definite in 
canon about Hermione's feelings so I am more arguing against the idea 
that it is clear that she likes Ron than I am arguing that it is 
clear that she likes Harry.
