me:
Really now! I remember having a crush on someone when I was 12 and I had
quite normal familial relations thank you!

Laila: 

I agree! I remeber being quite young with my first crush! I think it was the first grade. He was the smartest boy in class.

Rob:
Yes, Ron hates Malfoy and takes every excuse to try and beat him up. And yes
who wouldn't jump to the defense of their best friend, but to me there
seemed to be a particular ferocity in this instance. It was also the first
time Ron attempted to use magic to attack malfoy. Something he know's he's
not good at and know's he has a broken wand to boot.
But really I think Ron had a thing for Hermione from the start even in SS.

Although, I tend to think that it was just the ferocity of the insult that caused Ron to react this way. Malfoy was being particularly vicious with that one. I mean the word in question is just as bad as any racial slur we've ever heard.
