Not that, IMO.

There is surely a distinction between:

(a) thicker plot;

(b) likely development;

(c) desirable development (for the reader).

It is possible to accept that H/H or FITD would make for interesting -
 even the most interesting - plot developments, while still believing 
that the balance of GOF evidence is in favour of incipient R/H.  
Where 'incipient' is something that could be cut off at any time.

Or is someone going to try to blag me that all those H/H posts are 
just speculations along the lines of 'now what would cause most 
complexity and angst in future books...  let me see...  Hermione 
fancies Harry - what an interesting idea to consider in the abstract!'
