Agree totally.  And here are a few more bonds, from a dedicated non-
shipper:

1.  That sinking feeling of being connected to the latest greatest 
Evil Overlord.  Harry has this *bad* in CoS, and Dumbledore explains 
away the Parselmouth & Sorting-Hat-Slytherin-thing by saying V 
tranferred some powers to Harry.  (Me, I don't totally buy that, but 
then I'm waiting for my Flying Hedgehog badge.)  Harry seems to take 
this explanation pretty well at the time, but I imagine it can't feel 
*good*, and I think it's liable to come up again.  Now, Ginny in CoS 
is very connected to V, and I know others have speculated that she 
may now have some sort of evil seed in her soul (or she may just 
worry about this possiblity).

2.  Guilt.  Harry's got it about Cedric, and Wormtail, and V using 
his blood; and probably about his parents too.  Ginny's probably got 
some about Petrifying folks and nearly getting Harry killed.

I *don't* think this necessarily means that they are soulmates, but H 
& G could have some meaningful conversations.  Harry needs to have 
the guilt one with someone I think, although Sirius would probably do 
as well as Ginny (or better) for that.

I was thinking this just the other day!  Both short, dark, skinny, 
good at Quidditch, famous... hmm.. maybe the H/H people are on to 
something...
