I believe that is exactly one of the main arguments of the many H/HR 
shippers which is that we'll see the beginning and end of the R/HR 
ship in books vi-vii, but that the only thing we'll see of the H/HR 
ship is perhaps an acknowledgement of their feelings at the very end 
of vii.

This situation you described is exactly what happened during the 
christmas chapters where Harry isolated himself from the others in 
Buckbeak's room and guess what it wasn't Ginny who got him out of the 
room, but Hermione.

I believe Rowling has said that the girl that Harry will end up with 
was in the first book. However I'd take anything she is saying with a 
large grain of salt.
