Indeed it would Eileen 8-). Perhaps I should have phrased it slightly 
better: *if* Harry ends up tidily in a "happy ever after" 
relationship, I believe it would have to be with Hermione.

Obviously that Ron and Hermione could eventually pair up, whilst 
leaving Harry alone, is a possibility, and quite a nice one in my 
personal book <g>

Whilst Ginny does have a defined relationship with the trio, I 
wouldn't personally venture so far as to say she's part of the 
picture - she doesn't yet significantly intermingle with the trio in 
terms of meals, lessons, prep, social occasions, deduction, risk-
taking and escapades or even general friendship. These are the 
particular areas where I can't quite see how JKR will incorporate a 
fourth "significant other". But I'll be fascinated to see if and how 
she chooses to follow this route.

KT in Seattle -- who really must be finishing up her last afternoon 
in the office.
