Well... not to print everyone's text...

After GOF I thought, well R/H is obvious, at least to the point that 
Ron has something for Hermione and she realizes it, but he won't 
admit it.

After OOP I thought, well, that was a surprise, that seemed more 
H/H.  But it is CLEAR now that Ron does have something for Hermione.  
Upon my second reading, it seemed that she not only realizes this, 
but is frustrated with his immaturity on various levels.  

I remember how, er, good students saw their peers who might have been 
nice or popular but blew off homework or copied notes.  There was 
just not as much respect.

I also am reminded of author John Granger's idea that due to the 
connotations behind Hermione's name, there will be a triangle.  That 
seemed silly in GOF, when Harry was bored spending time with H. 
during the cold war with Ron.  But one poster here had the idea that 
it could simply mean that Ron is jealous or perceives that H. might 
like Harry more, and that would be enough to make it a triangle.  
(even if H/H remain platonic supporters, at least with enough 
friendship understanding and maturity that Ron has not caught up with 
by OOP).

Anyhow, let's see what happens.  Harry's got a lot on his plate right 
now if he's thinking of Quidditch and homework as rubbish when Death 
Eaters escape, so he may not wish to focus on girls.
