[HPforGrownups] Why does Hermione like Ron?

Well, on one hand it says in the first volume (I
apologize for quoting inexactly, but I don't have the
book with me right now): "There are certain adventures
you can't live together without becoming friends, and
certainly facing and defeating a Moutnain Troll is
such an adventure".
Let's not forget that, at the time when they become
friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione are 11 years old,
which, unless you are a bit precocious, is the age
where you look at each other not as male or female,
but just as - nearly neutral- friend or enemy.
I think JKR has acted very wisely here to hint at
possible - more or less passional- involvements only
when the children have reached the age of fourteen.
That's the age when simple friendship can begin to
become love. 
So, Ron feels attracted by Hermione ("But...you are a
girl!")when he realizes that someone might take her
from him- not as a friend, but as a woman.
Harry might be the one that goes along without a
girlfriend for a long time.

Okay, big question, here, but before I ask it, I must
say that I am a <BR>
Ron/Hermione shipper and a very big Harry/Ginny
shipper. That said, <BR>
here's my question:<BR>
<BR>
In GoF it appears that there *is* something going on
between Hermione <BR>
and Ron. Even JKR said as much on an online
chat, something many here <BR>
know. Now, while I see the tension between the
two of them, and also <BR>
see some sort of romance on the horizon, why is
Hermione interested in <BR>
Ron? I can't say it's the 'opposties attract'
thing, because they <BR>
are definitely not, IMO, opposites - their similar
stubborness and <BR>
tempers are examples of that. <BR>
<BR>
If you were Hermione, why would you want to get
involved with Ron? <BR>
Why would Ron be interested in Hermione as well?<BR>
<BR>
This has been bothering me for quite some time!<BR>
