ME:  I think Fran has it right, but I'll take it a step further and
say:  I think that Harry see's Hermione as a mother figure... even
more so then Mrs. Wheasly.  Who's voice does Harry hear in his head
when he is doing something he shouldn't?  Mrs. Wheasly?  No Hermione.
 Think, what voice do you hear, (as a child), when you are doing
wrong?  Mom.  Hermione mothers Harry something fierce.  And that talk
about Cho.  I think it was the Mother Son talk about *girls*.  How
does a mother talk to her kids about sex?  We get all business like. 
We make it all matter of fact.  We must tell our little ones exactlly
the right think.. so they don't get confused.  And that is what I
think that Hermione is doing to Harry.  She doesn't want to embarrass
Harry.  So she keeps it very matter of fact.  And gives him *loads* of
good information.  

So, I have a hard time with the H/Hr ship.  Not 'cause I don't think
they would be great together.  But, because I don't think they would
be *great*!!!! together.  I think that Harry would be hen picked in
about a month... at least Ron would tell her to back off.  Harry
wouldn't like all of his plans made for him. (and Hermione would do
that... if she felt Harry wasn't doing things as he should).  Harry
needs someone layed back.  No bossing, no yelling, no problems... I
think Harry needs a nice vacation to Spain or the West Indies.  Big
tropical birds, sweet fruitie drinks and lots of pretty girls in
*small* bathing suits.  ;)

Just a thought... please don't blast me.. I love Hermione, I just
don't think she would love living with Harry too much either.
