I will try to be kind, however, I disagree. The H/R "ship" carries
the same emotional fluctuation that Psyche and Cupid had. While it
makes for great Greek tradgedy, it would in real life make for poor
basis for lasting stability. It does however make for interesting
prospects like Ron reacting to Hermione's attentions to Harry, (given
the possibility that he finally notices her.) It opens a whole new
chapter to the people deciding who the betrayer could be.... I say
Ron, for a while, because he is jealous of Harry beating him once
again to something Ron wants. Of course, just out of school, not one
of them should be considering a LTR until LV is defeated and the
future secure, but then again, there were plenty of young brides and
grooms before soldiers were sent to duty in wars, so who knows?
