Talisman, who thinks too much fishing gets you all wet, replies:

If you are smelling fish, you should check your nose.
 
No, wait, that's it! JKR subtly crafts the budding sexual tension 
between Ron and Hermione throughout Books 4 and 5 because she wants 
to play Gilligan's Island and frustrate everyone in the end!

And yes! That's it, Charlie! You can't believe anything JKR says 
because--even with obvious non-central plot themes--it's all red 
herring! Even when she tells the truth, since you suspect more 
herring, it becomes more herring! 

How clever of you to have caught her out, the whole book is red 
herring and the only things that will happen in books 6 and 7 are 
things for which there is no predicate in the rest of the series.  
Bloody Brilliant.

Talisman, who will be collecting Galleons when the dust settles.
