I haven't seen this mentioned once in the SHIP talks (altough I
havent't read them in its entirety) is it the general consensus on
here that it didn't mean anything? Hermione didn't kiss harry in
support before his quidditch match, but obviously she was far far
younger then? I think its a clear but not so clear sign of affection
from Hermione to ron, in that i mean it's such an obvious statement
that readers have trouble beliveing that rowling would put such a
statement in without fully exploiting romatic feelings between to
two with some more important statments, so readers disregard it as
moral support but I'm not so sure.

  I’m rereading Oop and just read that part.  The first time I read it, I
thought Hermione kissed both.  Ron, then Harry.  On the second read, I’m
thinking she just kissed Ron.  I just don’t know.  Both times though, I
thought she kissed Ron to distract him from seeing the “Weasly is our King”
badges.  I do thing R/H have feelings for each other.  Hermione really never
shows them though, except in her reactions to Ron’s jealousy.  She knew
kissing Ron would throw him for a loop for a minute, at least long enough
for Harry to get him past the Slytherins.

During my first reading of Oop, I got a H/H feeling for the first time.  I’m
half way through my second read, and I can’t figure out where I got that
impression from. It must be from the end.  :-)
