I would love to see an H/H relationship. Frankly, as much as I like
Ron, he is simply not at Hermione's level either intellectually
(dah!) or emotionally - but of course he will mature.

That said, I believe an H/H ship will not happen. JKR created
Hermione as a reflection of herself - down to the Patronus!
(in the Scholastic 10/2000 interview she says that had she been
able to produce a Patronus it would be an otter - I don't have
the link handy but others have posted it). JKR is not arrogant
enough to marry herself to the saviour of wizardkind. I think
Ginny eventually ends up with Harry - or with Neville. As for
Hermione, I am not sure she will actually hook up with anyone,
at least not right after high school,
as she is too focused on moral and political crusades.

The series will end when they are all 18 years old. How many
people have found their permanent partner at that age? Nothing
is wrong with letting the kids find their own way in the adult
world first.
