I also am in favor of Harry & Luna hooking up.  However, the idea 
really doesn't seem to have a lot of popularity on this board.  
Probably because Luna is so weird, and so they don't want it to 
happen.  But to be honest, it's exactly the kind of thing that 
Rowling would do.  Harry dates the pretty, popular girl and finds out 
she's emotionally unstable and totally wrong for him.  Then he dates 
the weird, unpopular girl, getting past his initial impression of 
her, and finds out she's really great!
