I agree.

I don't think she is modeling Ron on her ex-husband, and I agree that Ron is intended to be a positive character (whether *I* view him that way or not).  But, the relationship between Ron and Hermione may bear some similarities to her first marriage, and if so, it might not bode well for long-term R/H.  It would depend on whether she thinks *some* tempestuous relationships can be affirming and positive for both parties, and we don't know what she thinks at this point.

I happen to think(for what it's worth)that Ron is attracted to Hermione because she is strong willed like his mother. Look at his parents relationship. Wouldn't it follow that Hermione is the type of girl that he would go for? Even if he is too dimwitted to realize it until late(lol). I see no evidence of  Ron being abusive in the future, I think that he is the average 14 year old boy. Yes, he's got some insecurities, but didn't we all at 14? I think that he is still growing and developing, he's healthy. Harry on the other hand, worries me. He doesn't express enough(yes I know this is a side effect from being locked in the closet)and I really wonder at his ability to have a lasting relationship at all. Ron and Hermione,come from two healthy families which in some ways will make it easier for them to relate to one another, even with all of the bickering(come on folks, a little bickering is healthy). I think that Harry, with saving the WW and all, will have little or no time for any relationship. Good gracious, you would think that I'm a R/H shipper(LOL). Really I'm not! I have no opinion one way or the other, whatever Jo wants to do is fine with me( so long as I get to read about my favorite characters). I just felt that someone should stand up for Ron(he has taken a beating lately),I like Ron! This wasn't intended to be a rant, but it seems to have taken that tone. I don't intend to offend, just offering my opinion.
