  Ron:  Now I did start believing that Ron and Hermione were ment to be 
  together.  But the more I look at it the more and more cliche it 
  looks.  Yes they would make an adoreable couple, yes it is quite 
  clear that Ron fancys the pants off Hermione but IIRC JKR say that 
  each of the main characters would fall for Mr/Miss Wrong.  I believe 
  that Hermione is Rons Miss Wrong.  I think it would be better if he 
  ended up with someone else, someone already foreshadowed in the 
  books.  What was that?  Padma you say?  Goodness no, Rons going to 
  swallow his pride, grow up and ask Eliose Midgen to go on a date.

  What gets me with this is that we ALL completely ignore how early it was for JKR to reveal this.  Yes, I'm an H/Hr, but with JKR style of writing.  Her obvious not meaning the obvious, I can see this R/Hr as misdirection.  JKR has proven time & time again that she will lead you down one path them hit you with something you least expected.  She revealed this in Book 4, in the middle of the series!  How often has JKR revealed a clue and shown it to be false in the end.  She's done it with Snape, Sirius, Moody, and plenty others.  If she does it in the main plot, she can certainly do it in the sub plot.  I do see some slight support of R/Hr, but I see more for H/Hr.

  With Ginny, I see a lot of different things.  We saw more of her in CoS & we will see more of her in OotP.  Why do I get the feeling that Ginny will be evil in OotP????  She was possessed (?) by Tom Riddle.  That's got to leave some sort of affect on the poor girl.
