My question is, though, is why is it all male couples being 
speculated on? Maybe Hermione and Tonks might develop a particular 
kind of friendship, we all know Hermione likes exciting people. What 
if Ginny and Luna start getting a little cozy there while trying to 
tag along the trio, and maybe, possibly Molly feels responsible for 
Harry because she had her own special relationship with Lily and 
thinks about Lily everytime she looks into Harry's eyes....

I reply:

LOL! If that were the case, JKRs fan base would double with the added fandom
of creepy straight men who have a thing for teenage girls. It would really
be a bit of marketing genius :-)

But just to even our the field, I would say....ummm......Madam Hooch. Let's
reinforce the woman-gym-teacher stereotype that's already omnipresent in our
society.
