IMHO, Harry has *waay* too much stuff going on in his life
to worry about dating/relationships right now.  I really
can't see him going beyond dances/trips to Hogsmeade until
Voldie is defeated, or at least the Voldie-related activity
dies down.  

Think about it: here's a 15-year-old who's been saddled
with a lot of responsibility for the past five years; has
seen an acquaintaince die; found his godfather and saw him
"disappear" (die); found out that he (and he *alone*) is
the savior of the wizarding world.  Add to this the fact
that he personally has been close to death a number of
times, plus the problems faced by a typical 15-year-old
(not that Harry's typical), and what Harry needs is a
really good friend who can help him deal with all of this
crap.  

Maybe Ron & Herm fit the bill here, or maybe someone else
will, but Harry needs to get his head straightened out. 
Besides, would *you* want to date someone who is interested
in "The Boy Who Lived", or would you prefer to wait for
someone who's interested in Harry Potter? How many possible
dates would simply be interested in TBWL (and how much
would the Daily Prophet pay for a scoop on "My Date with
TBWL"?)? Harry's pretty good at juggling the
school/quidditch/world-saving stuff, but I don't think
there's enough room for relationship stuff at this time.

until books 8 & 9)
