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?
