Hmm... I see your reasoning but why look to canon for a 10-years-hence 
fanfic at all?  How many people marry someone they liked when they 
were 14?

Seems to me the reason so many fanfics put any of these folks together 
as adults is that the authors (and the rest of us) long to see people 
we know get together.  Harry and some Muggle from Dublin just doesn't 
float our boats. (Or our ships.)  But it's just as likely as Harry and 
anyone from Hogwarts if this were real life.  JMHO.
