Noooooo! I don't even want to think about it. It would
be so unfair, to him and to us.

While it's arguable that Hermione likes/doesn't like
Harry (and I don't even want to be dragged into this
<g>), I think that it's obvious Harry does not like
Hermione *that way.* Do I even need to back this up
with quotes? He never bats an eyelash when he realizes
Ron likes Hermione.

Oh my gosh. I just realized this - Ginny has a
life-debt to Harry! I wonder how she's going to pay
him back.
