I know this has been discussed to death, but I feel I need to voice 
my opinion.  The Neville / Ginny thing, don't see it happening, 
friends always defend each other, and didn't Neville ask Hermione to 
the ball, not Ginny?  Ginny is still smitten with Harry as far as I 
can tell at the end of OotP, the scene with Ginny hiding her smile 
as Harry was talking to her while they were visiting Hermione in the 
hospital.  Now the Hermione / Ron thing, Ron does seem to be 
attracted to Hermione since he becames a little jealous of her going 
with Krum, but could this be due to going with some one outside the 
trio instead?  Would Ron acted this way if it was Harry she went 
with?  I don't think so.  Now Harry / Hermione,  Harry is a clod 
when it comes to relationships (as seen with Cho) and he is blind as 
a bat when it comes to the subtle signs ot the opposite sex.  But 
Hermione seems to send them any chance she gets to, every time the 
situation gets tense, she grabs Harry, not Ron.  Harry was the first 
one she kissed on the cheek, and the first one she hugged.  Hermione 
kissed Ron on the cheek for luck at the quidditch match, and also to 
make sure he didn't see the Weasly for King banner at the Slytherin 
end of the field.  We see Harry's view on Hermione change at the Tri 
Wizard ball when he sees her all done up, and wearing something 
besides the normal school robes.  Now my favorite, Harry / Ginny 
ship.  Ginny is still enamored with Harry at the end of OotP, and I 
hope it continues.  Ginny would be wonderful for Harry as long as he 
learns to interpret the female signals a little better.  Harry would 
find himself in a very loving family, and it seems Ginny would 
support him whole heartedly.  He did risk his life against a 
Basilisk for her.  But I think Harry would have done that even for 
Draco, he just seems to be that kind of guy. (the D/H SHIP people 
need not respond)

I still think it will be HP/GW, RW/LL, and HG/NL, by the end of it 
all.

K, people, time to tear my opinion apart, please.
