believe that you misunderstood me :-) What I was saying is that IMO 
there is more evidence for a 'subtext' meaning between Ron and 
Hermione than there is for H/H, since I see the R/H interactions in 
GoF as subtle and implied, NOT 'clear' just as H/H fans see a subtext 
meaning."

--You don't see R/H as clear in GoF? I do and I'm a H/H shipper! 
Goggling over the fact. I mean it's painfully obvious what Ron's 
feelings are, or am I missing your point? Sure we don't know what 
Hermoine wants, but there's nothing subtle about Ron's feelings, IMO.

Clear, IMHO means that the words "Ron likes Hermione and Hermione 
likes Ron" or WORDS to that effect, appear in the canon :-) Due to 
the diversity of the views on this discussion board, I prefer not to 
use the word CLEAR so lightly <vbg>, since if even one person 
disagrees with Ron liking Hermione, then IMO it is not 'clear' and I 
believe Star is one such person who at this moment in time does not 
see Ron liking Hermione :-). Therefore, I prefer not to use the 
word 'clear' <g>. 

I DO intrepret R/H especially from GoF, but like most H/H fans who 
see hints of Hermione liking Harry, I see HINTS of Ron and Hermione 
mutually liking each other. IMO R/H is still 'subtle' and 'implied' 
but most definitely there <vbg>. I guess if I grade the degree of 
subtlety, Ron liking Hermione is the least 'subtle' while Hermione 
liking Ron (or Harry <g>) is the most subtle. I hope that makes more 
sense :-)
