Well, I've wracked the depths of my mind and am thoroughly unable to come up with a strong reason for this.  It's more of a -- feeling.  Just the way JKR has set up the dynamic between R/H (and to a lesser extent, H/G), it makes me feel as if that's where she's heading.  Of course, we all know how she likes to do an about-face even now and then ^_~, but at this point, R/H, H/G is where she seems to be heading.

On the other hand, my prediction *could* just be based on the words I live my life by -- expect the worst.  ^_~ Anyway, it's not so much that I'm a H/H shipper, it's more that I'm an anti-R/H and H/G shipper.  As couples, I don't like the idea of those characters together.  Plus that OBHWF thing makes my skin do the crawlies.
