It's easy for me to apply pop psychology to Ron, Hermione, and Draco, because those architypes have made themselves present in my life. Harry, however, is harder to nail down. Has anyone out there ever known a Harry?
Me:
*sheepishly raises her hand and wonders if this is allowed*
I have. I'm married to a Harry (in the looks & some psychological aspects) and my father is like Harry. I've also known guys like Ron in both ends of the spectrum, the extreme goofiness to the extreme jealousy. The goofiness of Ron is the good thing that I like about him. But I can't help but notice Ron's jealousy is rearing its ugly head more than the goofiness. As for Hermione, I can see aspects of her in me (of course), we both love school.
I'm an H/Hr because I see a potiental romance between Harry & Hermione that is building. With R/Hr, all I see is the arguing. Arguing isn't bad, but it's bad for a relationship when it's over petty little things and it's constant. I can't see R/Hr surviving (if it happened) because Ron nor Hermione would want to back down on even the simplest decisions. They do agree, however only when the topic of it is Harry or they are too preoccupied with what's around them to argue.
As for R/Hr compared to Han/Leia, even generally, how are they alike? Han/Leia, like Falcon pointed out are adults. Even if you've only seen the movies, you can still notice a *big* difference in the type of arguments each couple has. Han/Leia arguments are more weighted because they are hard decisions of great importance. Ron/Hermione argue over nothing, where's the importance of those arguments?
