Where did this come from?  Unless you're referring to yourself or lurkers, 
Craig, I'm not sure what listies who have expressed that shipping preference 
would be crushed.  None of the H/Hers I know expect to ever see it from 
JKR's pen, except as perhaps a red herring or something unrequited to 
thicken the plot stew... and even that's a stretch.  Unlike other ships, we 
don't have a sense of entitlement... which is why a lot of us write 
fanfiction.

Whatever JKR writes is fine with me.  Of course, many of us have said that 
we will disagree with her if she chooses certain outcomes (parallels were 
drawn to LMA and other writers), but that is our prerogative as readers.  
But it won't stop this H/Her from loving the remaining Harry Potter books, 
which involve *so much more than shipping*.  In fact, romance is the least 
of *my* concerns--I'm more worried about the characters I like *surviving* 
canon!
