Just curious, but what is a no-shipper? 

a)someone who likes romance, but can't choose a bias? Likes both 
equally, that sort of thing, will read both. ("R/H or H/H? Both ok 
with me")
b)someone who just isn't interested in entire romance aspect of the 
series in general ("who cares about their love lives. What I'm 
burning to read is a fanfic that resolves the student population 
issue and the wand order thingy convincingly")
c)someone with strict canon tastes in fanfic who doesn't find any of 
the romantic relationships in HP fleshed out well enough to care? 
("They're just kids. And there aren't any living adults in 
relationships")
d)someone with who would ship if JKR wrote in a one in books 5,6,7 
that s/he could be conceivably interested in. ("It would be rather 
interesting to see (fill in the blank here, usually Sirius or Lupin) 
with someone, but, well, we shall see.")

I'm probably a c or d.

Ah, a fellow anime/manga fan, I suppose.
