So, what is the foreshadowing you see for H/Hr?

You say you see more than for R/Hr, and I am wondering what
the support for H/Hr is that I'm obviously missing.

I'm not normally a shipper and read the HP books for the
friendship scene, but couldn't help noticing the build up
for R/Hr (mostly in GoF for Hermione's side, but also lots
of little moments in the other books. Ron always standing up
for her, despite their teasing each other, Hermione's
reaction to Ron's crush on Fleur etc.).

I haven't really seem much support for future H/Hr,
especially not from Harry's side, who (imo) needs to let
Hermione know that her appreciates her as a friend.

A lot of the time he seems to get annoyed with her mothering
and doesn't seem very thankful for all the great help she
has given him.

And as to book 4 being too early to reveal a relationship:
I'd say, neither Ron, nor Hermione have even gotten to the
point where they've admitted to each other (and maybe even
themselves) what is going on.

There will probably a lot more happening until they actually
get to the point of dating (JKR did say she wanted to keep
the romance light and humorous, not too gritty, so it's most
likely going to be used for more comic relied, like in GoF)

I'm not sure how Harry feels about romance after what
happened in GoF.

I could see him be very closed off and having a hard time
overcoming the trauma of Cedric's death.
