Personally I think that Hermione's little kiss at the end of GoF was 
nothing more than one of those kind gestures that Hermione makes every 
so often.  Being very fond of Harry as a friend, and knowing how 
shaken up he was by recent events, and how much sympathy he was likely 
to get from the Dursleys during the holidays, she just wanted to do 
something to cheer him up before he departed - to remind him that he 
had good friends who would be thinking about him while they were 
apart.  She may even have had Molly Weasley's recent hospital bedside 
hug and its effect on Harry in mind... nobody would suggest there were 
any romantic undertones in that scene!

I think they would be a terrific match.  Notably, neither of them is 
an intellectual (unlike Hermione) but they both share a similar sense 
of humour, which Hermione seems to lack.  Having a good laugh is very 
important to Harry, and seems to be one of the main reasons he gets on 
so well with Ron.  Remember what he told the twins as he was forcing 
his tournament winnings on them... 'we're all going to need a good 
laugh soon' etc.

Certainly Ron might find it a bit weird to have Harry's affection 
transferred to his sister.  But I think this could be a pretty common 
reaction from a guy who suddenly experiences an alteration to two of 
his closest relationships when his sibling and best friend become 
romantically attached.

I think Harry is only too well aware how much Ginny likes him, but 
ignores it because he's not interested in anything more than 
friendship yet.  The whole idea makes his flesh crawl... think of how 
he reacts when he thinks Ginny is going to end up sitting on his lap 
after she barges into the darkened carriage on the train in PoA!  I'd 
say he currently puts Ginny's feelings down to hero worship, being 
aware of how famous he is in the wizarding world.  Yet he commendably 
manages to turn a blind eye to her more embarrassing moments rather 
than laughing at her behind her back, which would be the standard 
reaction for a kid his age, so he must be sensitive to her feelings. 
He's also happy to share a joke with her, and they seem to get on very 
well generally as members of the 'Weasley gang'. I hope Ginny gets 
what she wants in the end, I think it'll make them both (and all the 
other characters, except maybe Neville!) very happy!
