<<<HOWEVER: In reading through JKR's interviews and biographical sketches, I 
get the impression that Jo's romances have tended to be fairly *intense.*  
(I'm not just thinking of her ex-husband--in an interview with Evan Solomon 
she told a great story about inventing Quidditch after walking out on a 
boyfriend.) If we grant that Hermione is JKR's own epiphany in the books, 
wouldn't it follow that Hermione's love stories would tend to follow a 
similarly stormy pattern?>>>

I've wondered about that too (read the same interview).  But, I've also 
heard that her current fling/boyfriend/what have you is a tall thin man with 
black hair.  That could just be a rumor of course, but she does seem to have 
a fixation for men with black hair (James, Harry, Voldy, Sirius, Hagrid, 
Snape ...).  Are there *that* many men in the UK with black hair on average? 
  I dunno.  I think she's fixated with dark-haired men.  :--)

<<<Of course, my current pet theory is that Hermione will fall in love (with 
Ron) in OoP, out of love in HP6--and in love with Harry in HP7--pushing Ron 
over the edge into fury, revenge and betrayal.>>>

I love this theory! I do believe strongly that the romance triangle could 
result in some betrayal along the way.  Of course, if OoP ends with Ron & 
Hermione in love, the H/H shippers will have a long sad wait to see how 
things shake out in the final books.  <g>
