books for some reason -- Very JKR-ish of her, I might say.  My 
theory is that this has something to do with her connection to 
Voldemort through Riddle's diary, and her life-debt to Harry.  How 
those two things play out, I don't know.  >

Peter's life, hence Peter is indebted to Harry)?  Doesn't this 
create a bond between the life-saver and the person saved?  

How about the life-debts that have been racked up between Harry and 
Hermione?  Harry and Ron saved Hermione's life from the mountain 
troll.  Then Hermione helped Snape to save Harry's life from 
Quirrell's attempt to knock him off his broomstick.

Later Hermione helped save Harry with the Devil's Snare and the 
Potions riddle in the hidden dungeons. (She also saved Ron from the 
Devil's Snare - repaying her debt to him which was promptly rewarded 
by Ron saving both Harry and Hermione with his mastery of chess.)

Harry then vanquished the Basilisk that had petrified Hermione.  
This of course aided by information Hermione had clutched in her 
stone-cold little hands.

To me it seems like if this is Magic at its most deepest and most 
powerful that Harry and Hermione have developed strong magical bonds 
between them.  I don't doubt that Ginny and Harry have a bond 
between them, but I think that the Harry-Hermione magical bonds are 
much stronger.  (I also think they are stronger than the Ron-
Hermione magical bonds.)

It's just a thought.  What if the reciprical and repeated saving of 
one another causes you to become irrevocably bound to them?  Hmmm.

"Who's she?" asked Sirius. 
"A single mother in her thirties with a small daughter. She looks
at any man who's not behind bars or mentally incompetent as a
potential future husband. That includes married men, I'm afraid. 
She'll be drooling the moment she sees you."
