*snerk*  That was funny.  Well, in for a penny, in for a 
pound...paddling my barrel over to the conference.  IMO this scene is 
one of the most (if not *the* most) hilarious comedic moments in the 
canon -- all the more so because it comes in the middle of Very 
Sirius Things.  (I just couldn't resist the pun.)  I can just see 
Hermione boo-hooing on Ron's shoulder, and the line about Ron being 
really relieved when she let go of him is priceless!  Now:  if R/H 
happens, the comedic value of the scene in hindsight multiplies 
exponentially...but if it doesn't, it's still funny.
