Indeed. I'd like to point out that Ron/Hermione + Harry relations are 
(and that is most evident in OotP) quite similar to Arthur/Molly + 
Weasley children relations. We've got (often childish) males who are 
trying not be involved in any kind of enforcing the rules with their 
pupils, and strong females who are doing just that all the time.
It's even came to Harry's mind in the following passage:

'Christmas before last Sirius gave me a knife that'll open any lock,' 
said Harry. 'So even if she's bewitched the door so Alahomora won't 
work, which I bet she has - '
'What do you think about this?' Hermione demanded of Ron, and Harry was 
reminded irresistibly of Mrs Weasley appealing to her husband during 
Harry's first dinner in Grimmauld Place.
'I dunno,' said Ron, looking alarmed at being asked to give an opinion. 
'If Harry wants to do it, it's up to him, isn't it?'

(OOP chapter 29)

Compare it to the mentioned Harry's first dinner:

Arthur!' said Mrs Weasley rounding on her husband. 'Arthur, back me up!'
Mr Weasley did not speak at once. He took off his glasses and cleaned 
them slowly on his robes, not looking at his wife. Only when he had 
replaced them carefully on his nose did he reply.
'Dumbledore knows the position has changed, Molly. He accepts that Harry 
will have to be filled in, to a certain extent, now that he is staying 
at Headquarters.'

{OOP chapter 5)


Reading OotP I was under deep impression, that Ron & Hermione are 
discussing Harry's behaviour behind the scenes and together are making 
some plans about it.

Some psychologist says that usually people are copying their parents 
relationships in their own. So Ron in fact is seeing his own mother in 
Hermione, and (possibly - since we know nothing about Mr. Granger) 
Hermione might see her father in Ron.
