Okay, so I've heard all about this "shipper" stuff from before I 
joined this group, but what surprised me about this post is reference 
to people thinking they had EVIDENCE for H/H.  What evidence is there? 
 I'm not trying to sound rude, I'm just curious.  I would have said 
there really wasn't any evidence for the H/H side and most people on 
it just liked the idea and thought it fit.  There's pretty scant 
evidence for any "ship" really, except in GOF for R/H.  So what is 
this alleged evidence?  Does someone have a specific message 
number they could refer me to?

For the record, I am a non-shipper where the books are concerned.  I 
don't care who has a short-term relationship in school, because that's 
all it would be.  And I don't really think there should be a lasting 
relationship because they're not going to be old enough before the 
series is over (I think I'm allowed to say this without being 
condescending since I'm only 19 myself).  If any of them are 'life 
partners', I don't think they ought to come to that conclusion in the 
course of the books.  And of course, we wouldn't hear about it if any 
of them hooked up or got married after school.  Except outside of 
canon with fanfiction like PoU.
