Well, you've just hit on *my* shipping hopes and views almost 
exactly.  I am very much a pumpkin pie (H/H) person, I loved Luna's 
crush on Ron and I think they'd make an interesting duo, and although 
I love Ginny/Draco in fanfic, if Canon!Draco remains a complete git, 
I like the newly backboned Neville for Ginny (although Dean would be 
fine, too).  The "secondary trio" has certainly given us lots of new 
shipping ground to debate.  There was a post (65400) where MarEphraim 
did a nice summary of all the Ron/Luna hints in OOP.  I definitely 
got that "vibe" from reading it.  Ginny/Neville had less, but he was 
trying to save her from the Inquisitorial Squad (and they had a date 
in GOF).  As for Harry and Hermione, there are many people more 
practiced and skilled than I at pointing out where their hints are in 
canon, but my two favorite bits from OOP are: 
1) Harry's conscience now has Hermione's voice.
2) Harry's Christmas present to Hermione fit *HERMIONE* perfectly, it 
wasn't just a generic gift for a girl.  

Those are my ships, and I'm sticking to them, 

 Marie, who does not want to enflame a shipping war, but did want to 
let this person know that some people agree with him.
