have been unintentional, but I still got that implication (although 
not as much from you as others).  And as I've never understood the 
problems that people have with Ron, when he's a Perfectly Normal Boy 
(and IMO the most realistic of the three), I found that rather 
annoying.  

Thanks for sharing this, Doctor dear.  Do you realize that we had 
absolutely no idea that we were stepping on toes when we implied 
this?  So it was surprising to certain H/Hers when our posts about 
our ship were... well, let's just say not very well received at all.  
While that doesn't change my sentiment about Ron, I'll watch how I 
word my Ron-centered posts in the future.

In a way, I find myself agreeing with you.  I think the Perfectly 
Normal Boy will grow up to be the Perfectly Normal Man.  :-)  Whereas 
both Harry and Hermione are atypical in some ways, but are still 
regular kids in others.  (They come in a wide assortment of 
varieties.)

*should* write a comparison between Ron & Arthur and Hermione & Mrs. 
Weasley someday, because I see so many parallels between them, it's 
amazing.

I would love to read this!  Make "someday" a "someday soon", Doc!  As 
I'm constructing my own H/H *and* R/H theories at the present, I'm 
devouring everything I can get my hands on.

*Goat*!  Again, I deserve some brownie points for not commenting... I 
was going to make a wisecrack about medicine and disorders, but I bit 
it back, my friend, I bit it back!  Perhaps there's a cure for 
virulent H/H Syndrome after all.

Just one problem... I don't want to be cured.  <veg>
