Me:
I agree with Joj, people imagine something exists between Harry and 
Hermione because it does.  The two of them are absolutly in love but 
neither realises it.  You can clearly see this in the stuggle 
Hermione has in persuading Harry to contact Sirius when Harry 
believes LV is killing him.  Even though she doesn't believe him she 
still states she will stand by him (and die with him) if he can prove 
Sirius is not at Grimmauld Place. JKR also makes a point of telling 
us that Harry notices this act of selfless loyalty.

I also think JKR is down playing the Ron/Hermione ship because of two 
reasions: 
One: Hermione is not (at the moment) in love with Ron although she 
did have a crush on him back in Book 3 and 4.
Two: I believe JKR is setting the stage for a triangle and betrayal 
between the three. Which was what I started the thread with in the 
first place so now I'm starting to beat the idea on the head. Lol.
