<< I've been musing about the relationships between Harry, Hermione, and
 Ron and thought of something. In PoA, we saw Hermione and Ron be
 temporarily not friends due to the Scabbers/Crookshanks issue. In GoF,
 we saw Harry and Ron be temporarily not friends due to the Goblet of
 Fire issue. I wonder if in OotP or a later book, we're going to see
 Hermione and Harry have a disagreement? I hesitate to say that it'll
 happen because, well, Ron instigated both of the above arguments and
 held the grudge. Not that I don't love Ron of course! <grin>
 
 I'd be interested to see what Harry and Hermione would come to blows
 over, though... >>

Although there have been times when Harry and Hermione haven't been very 
happy with each other (the Firebolt issue in PoA), I don't see them having a 
real disagreement like the one Harry had with Ron in GF.  I think that 
Harry's losses in his life have made him value the friends he has even more, 
and he would try not to alienate them.  Also, we know how miserable he was 
when he and Ron weren't speaking, so I don't think he would want to repeat 
that with Hermione.  Harry does have a bit of a temper, but even if his 
temper were to threaten to get the better of him, I think Hermione would 
prevent that from happening.  Hermione seems to be very understanding of both 
Harry and Ron, and I'm sure that even when she was angry with them, she 
*understood* why they were acting the way they were.  Both she and Harry are 
far less likely than Ron to hold grudges, especially against each other, and 
Harry's recent experiences with Voldemort have probably made both Ron and 
Hermione realize how much Harry means to them.  In the times that are coming, 
I can see their friendship becoming much more important to all of them, so I 
don't see any major disagreements ahead.  (I hope)
