Actually, I think it's entirely possible that she likes them both, and not in 
the Harry-is-the-love-of-her-life and 
Ron-is-a-dear-friend-she-would-never-want-to-hurt way that most H/H-ers seem 
to think.  The overwhelming message I seem to get from the H/H crowd is that 
if she liked them both and wound up dating Ron it would only be because he was 
"the easy choice", as he definitely has feelings for her.  I think it entirely 
possible that she maybe could have feelings for them both, and maybe might 
realize that her feelings for Harry are just a crush (collective gasp from H/H 
shippers at such blasphemous thoughts) and that Ron is really the one for her.
 I once again have to point to Arabella's "The O.W.L.'s" and Zsenya's "The 
Shreiking Shack" as examples of plausible, working R/H relationships.  And I 
still think scenarios like that are much more likely than H/H, but I don't 
suppose that opinion from me is news to anyone! <g>
