GEO:Jealousy doesn't indicate that they'll have a successful 
relationship. If anything it just indicates that the relationship 
would be driven more by passion which tends to burn out than by 
common friendship which is the driving force of the H/HR relationship.

GEO: Using your amazing method of deduction couldn't it also be 
because  was trying to stir some latent feelings that Harry might 
have for her?

GEO:Fortunately you aren't hermione. If you haven't noticed 
everything she does for Harry, no matter how difficult for her, she 
does for his benefit. She tries to stop him from going to the MoM 
even when he rages at her and encourages him to go back to Snape for 
occlumency lessons. And in POA she reports the firebolt knowing that 
she'll get on Harry's bad side all because she thinks that Sirius 
jinxed it.

GEO:Doesn't mean that he will. Seems to me, Ron is trying to get 
Harry hooked up with Ginny so that he'll eliminate his competition in 
regard toward Hermione. If anything I suspect Ron knows or thinks 
that there is something between Hermione and Harry.

GEO:However the Hippogriff moment was romantic considering that the 
hippogriffs are symbols of love in greek and roman art. Furthermore 
in both PoA and Ootp there are quite a few moments when Harry and 
Hermione are alone with Buckbeak the Hippogriff.
