Thank you, Barb. My husband is 5.5 years younger than I am. I can't for the
life of me imagine why in the world it would matter if Hermione were older
than either Harry or Ron, or why that would be squicky. As it was mentioned,
Harry likes Cho, who is one year older than he is. Nobody seems to think
that is a problem.

Of course, my parents had a 22 year age different between them, so perhaps
I'm a bit skewed. Oh, and my dad was once my mother's teacher. ;)
