Oh, geez, it's probably *somewhere* in the archives.  In any case, 
there was one R/Her who felt that way, IIRC, namely myself.  

I'd say to R/Hers:  go ahead and argue that Hermione likes Ron, but 
don't think that your argument stands or falls on that point.  Ron's 
current interest is quite enough to make R/H a likely scenario.
