I say:

After OotP, I agree that Hermoine is probably not the best choice 
for Ron. I might change my mind after book 6; boys often need a year 
to catch up to girls, and I've sensed the possibility of them since 
book 2. But I don't think she is the best romantic choice for Harry, 
either. His conscience has Hermoine's voice. It's pretty hard to 
fall in love with your conscience.

I agree that she will do (and has done) awesome things. She will be 
very instrumental in whatever the end of the series is. And Harry 
needs her by his side. But I don't think she will be his love 
interest for all the reasons Angela mentioned. She knows everything 
about him, has been with him through everything; guys don't usually 
fall for that girl in their lives.

Having said all that, I'm rather open to whatever pairings JKR 
wishes to show us and would be interested to see how Harry+Hermoine 
would work in the context of the story.

Be kind. This is my first post. :)
