You guys are right - I hadn't read that particular chat (I'm a little 
disturbed that I missed one :*). Here's the question:

Q: Ms. Rowling, I'd like to ask if there [will] be a lot of romances 
between the characters in the upcoming books?

A: Good question. I'm having so much fun writing Book 4 because for 
the first time Harry, Ron, and Hermione are starting to recognize 
boys and girls as boys and girls. Everyone is in love with the wrong 
people. Let no one say my books lack realism.

And you shouldn't give up on your Neville/Ginny theory - that has 
potential.
