As far as divination is concerned, here I think JKR is
simply keeping her cards close.  She seems to have
done some very careful things with zodiac signs and
birthdays.  

Harry is a Leo, of course, a lion.  That fits with the
heir of Gryffindor possibility.  Hermione is a Virgo,
reputed to be obsessive workaholics and
perfectionists.  It is strongly implied (I wish I
could remember where) that Ron's birthday is in May,
possibly making him a Taurus (bullheaded--that fits)
or failing that, a Gemini (split personality--but not
as appropriate as the bull).  It is also stated
(possibly in the same place) that Ron is a mere eleven
months older than Ginny [footnote: poor Molly!]
putting her birthday in April, probably making her an
Aries.  

Aries and Leo are supposed to be the great love match
of the zodiac.  Could JKR be tipping us off as to some
final pairings?  It also makes sense for Aries and Leo
to be together because they're both fire signs (I
think that's the lingo).  Virgo and Taurus are also
compatible signs.  Or maybe I'm just giving her more
credit than she should have...hope not!
