either Harry or Hermione.  And, that's an Okay Thing.  It doesn't 
have to be a slam on him; there are plenty of other things he can 
do with his life if he's not cut out to be an auror after all.  But if 
H&H honestly have a talent that he doesn't have but wants, I think 
we can expect to see Ron's green monster rear its ugly head 
again.    I also think I still go with the surface level read & 
conclusion that Ron is set apart from Harry & Hermione; I think 
this is a bit of foreshadowing or a red flag if you will.  Just my 
opinion of course --

Oh I  expect to see some more inter-Trio confict, too, including 
the permutations we haven't seen yet. Among these are 
[Ron,Hermione] vs Harry and [Harry, Hermione] vs Ron. I am 
sure JKR's been saving those for us because they'll be more 
interesting with boy/girl tension going on than they would have 
been in the earlier books. I am not sure Harry's mind always 
works more like Hermione's than like Ron's, though. I think he 
uses both styles.  There are certainly times, such as when he 
stabs the Diary with the fang, when the right idea just comes to 
him. Just my opinion of course.:--)

I'm not discounting Hermione as an investigator, far from it.

Ron and Hermione).You've heard of "Paradigm of Uncertainty"?

but thinks this idea's been done]<<<<<


I am thoroughly flattered by any comparison to PoU, but I don't 
think it applies. Surely you don't mean to imply that an R/H 
dynamic would be the same as an H/H dynamic, or why ship at 
all ? <even eviller very evil grin> Happy families may be all alike, 
if you believe Tolstoy, but sleuthing couples can be quite 
different. Nick and Nora Charles aren't like Harriet and Peter 
Wimsey, are they? (Further discussion of sleuthing couples to 
OT-Chatter)
