  Absolutely true.  I should point out now that I am in no way a
  vehement R/H (or any other) shipper.  It's just that H/H seem rather
  incompatable to me (aside from all the blatent R/H stuff in GoF). I
  fear that Hermione could never really be happy with someone like
  Harry who so often seems to either ignore her almost constant
  advice, or evade her completely until he's really in trouble and
  needs her to help him.  He even seems to be using Ron as a shield to
  deflect her intense nature at times. That would have to get
  frustrating for her, and I'd actually enjoy her telling him off for
  it at some point. He just doesn't seem to be able to appreciate her
  efforts on his behalf sufficiently for me to be able to forsee a
  satisfactory romantic relationship developing.

   Me:
  Penny, I completely agree on the big giant "So what!"  It does take two.
Who cares if Ron likes Hermione, so far Hermione actions lean more toward
affection for Harry than Ron.

  What I really fear about R/Hr is that Ron will use Hermione's worry about
Harry against her.  We've already seen Ron do it and he knows how much
Hermione worries about Harry.  Anytime an arguement/spat they have isn't
going his way, he'll drag Harry's name through it to force her into
submission.  That's a scary thought to me that he does this.  To me it shows
that he's incapable to hold an argument with her, and if it's not going his
way he knows the one way to get it into his corner, use Harry against her.
