I've heard a lot of people use this for the H/H argument, but in my 
eyes it's the opposite. In my experience, girls at that age will tend 
to be more physically affectionate to the boys they have a purely 
platonic interest in. If she truly had feelings for Harry, I doubt 
she would have made such an overly obvious gesture. If she has 
feelings for *Ron*, however, this makes sense: the kiss on the cheek 
was purely a gesture of friendship, a "bye-see-you-next-year-hope-you-
don't-have-too-much-damage-from-the-whole-almost-dying-thing", to 
kiss Ron would have carried too much weight. I doubt she would have 
kissed Harry so casually if she had been hiding a crush on him. But 
then again, that's just me.
