Well, this is just a way for me to reply to a bunch of suff without 
posting about 5 posts(plus, it's late, I'm tired, and I have to get 
up early tomorrow).  

~Elizabeth:
<Actually, wouldn't the most accurate parallel for Ron, as a potential
bad guy, be Sirius? After all, Sirius did inadvertently betray James
and Lily by talking them into using Peter as their Secret-Keeper. He
himself says that he as good as killed them, and when Harry accuses
him of murdering his parents, he says, "I don't deny it." He also 
has established character flaws, as seen in the Prank (which does not
reflect well upon him, whatever his intentions were). Yet nobody 
seems to suggest that Sirius wasn't worthy of the other Marauders, or 
that James and Lupin should have been more wary of him.> 

Ooh...I like this theory, I like this theory alot.  And that is also 
the only way I see Ron doing anything evil, is by unintentionally 
betraying his friends, like Sirius did.  I hope that in the books to 
come we learn more about Harry's mother, Lily, so as to see if she 
parallels well with Hermione or if Hermione is better matched with 
Lupin.

<Aldrea argued:

<<<<<Actually, I don't like Harry and Hermione being a couple. Harry 
has 
never thought a single thought about Hermione that wasn't more than 
just friends!>>>>>>

In the words of his creator, from a Scholastic chat in Feb 2000:

Q: Is Harry Potter ever going to fall in love with Hermione or is he 
going to
fall in love with Ginny Weasley? 

A: In Book IV Harry does decide he likes a girl, but it's not 
Hermione or
Ginny. However, he's only 14, so there's plenty of time for him to 
change his
mind. ;-) 

I'm focusing on the "he's only 14 and so there's time to change his 
mind"
aspect, btw. I emphasize that he's never given Ginny Weasley a second 
thought
either, but there are scores of people hoping he eventually will. 
People do
change their minds about their friends in terms of romance. Happens 
*all* the
time in the real world.>


Hmm.... the "he's only 14, so there's plenty of time for him to 
change his mind." could be a hint, or just be a misleading sort of 
answer.  Perhaps JKR is not wanting to give things away, and so an 
illusive answer is the best way to go. *shrugs*  But everyone seems 
positive that there shall be romance in the next book, so okay.


~Penny:
< <<<In fact, he's thought thoughts that were LESS than friendly.>>

And Ron hasn't? <vbg> 

<<<Hey, opposites attract.>>>>>>

Not always. I personally think the whole "opposites attract" thing is 
a bit
cliched, but that may be because I don't see too much evidence for it 
happening
very often in real life myself (I mean more than just my own personal
circumstances ... but family & friends as well).>

Lol, point taken.  But then again, we don't know Ron's thoughts, we 
just know his actions...and Ron's thoughts and feelings don't always 
follow his actions.  But I still cannot see the Harry/Hermione thing 
happening. Perhaps I shall be made to eat my words when the next book 
comes out(whenever that may be...), and I shall happily do so with 
many large bites.  But for the moment, I would much rather see each 
of them hook up with someone outside the Trio, if not just to 
introduce a new character.


~Ahketsi:
<About Hermione, doesn't anyone want to see her with Krum? I 
personally find 
Krum's character attractive and I like that JKR ended up putting 
Hermione 
with someone besides Ron and Harry, though I must admit I would find 
it 
terribly exciting if anything happened between her and one them. >

Oh, I hadn't really thought about this.  I liked Krum also, but I 
don't see how he can be in the books again unless he transfers to 
Hogwarts(perhaps to be closer to Hermione?), or he and Hermione 
remain owl-pals and their letters are mentioned.  I still love 
Hermione's quote at Ron when he accuses her of bieng a traitor and 
such after he had first seen her with Krum.  If I owned HP4, I'd look 
it up, but darn...

~Ahketsi:
<I think it is a very 
interesting development that his parents turned out to be famous 
aurors who 
suffered through torturing that left them insane. Neville doesn't 
hang out 
with Harry &etc. but he doesn't really hang out with Seamus and Dean 
too much 
either, so he's alone, isn't he? Maybe he'll become better friends 
with Harry 
& co. as the next book. I would love to see Neville do something 
really great 
in future books. >

I really like Neville's character! Yes, I think Neville needs a big 
self-esteem booster, and Snape's potions classes really don't help 
him at all, lol.  He needs to snag a bit of the spotlight.  I really 
hope his character continues to grow sine the mention of his parents 
past, that would get quite interesting.  And doesn't Neville possibly 
have something of a crush on Hermione? With all the talk of romance 
in the next book, I have to wonder if this isn't a possibility...

Oh, a thought just came to me- I wonder if wizards celebrate 
Valentine's Day?  I don't think they've mentioned this holiday yet in 
the books...
