I really don't think this was the case.  Just to refresh, the views of the
adolescents polled by Cassandra, Ebony, and others was not a response to the
question who likes whom.  It was a response to the question what did that
kiss (that Hermione gave Harry) at the end of GoF mean. They were drawing on
their personal experience being 14.  I know the books are written by an
adult, so maybe she didn't know what the kiss would mean to an adolescent
teen.   All the adolescents polled  seemed to definitely think it indicated
Hermione liked Harry and not just to pair the two protagonists.  I think JKR
knew exactly what she was doing with the kiss.  FITD...FITD....hi ho the
merrio...FITD
