Delurking for first post, also nervous:

But I think the POV is why Harry and Hermoine are a good possibility 
as a couple. If R/H get together, we won't really get to see it 
and "experience" it . . . unless Harry has some voyeuristic side to 
him that we haven't learned about yet ;) It's not like JKR is going 
to grant us access to private moments between R/H, and not being 
able to "see" that would be a bummer, in this reader's opinion. With 
H/H JKR could take us into as much detail as she likes, as she did 
with H/C. And that scene with the kiss, and the conversation with R 
and H afterwards served as a nice set of moments in OOTP.
