Allie:
Just out of curiosity- did it seem to everyone else that the
Ron/Hermione (or even H/H) angle was VERY downplayed in OoP?  I
wondered why, when it seemed like it was so set up after GoF.


Joj:
I wondered the same thing.  It would have been easy to add a few lines,
especially since R/H spent so much time together.  Harry could have noticed
a closer bond between them and felt more left out.  JKR didn’t do that, and
there has to be a reason.



Allie:
The closest Harry has ever come to showing interest in Hermione is
when he says in OoP that he doesn't think she's ugly.  :)


Joj:
The only thing I noticed, was when Ron and Harry had their fight in GOF,
Hermione stuck with Harry.  I’m sure she spent time with Ron, but when the
three were in the same place, she was with Harry.    I’m sure it was because
she believed Harry and thought Ron was wrong, but it still stood out to me.
Also, to my knowledge, nobody has ever thought Ron was Hermione’s boyfriend.
It’s happened with Harry a lot.  (Rita, Mrs. Weasley, Krum and Cho).  She
spends just as much time with Ron. (more in OOP)  Just something I noticed.
