I'm sure this isn't an original thought at ALL, but not a whole lot
of people seem to have mentioned it, so...  Anyways, to me it's
becoming incresingly obvious that Hermione likes Harry.  Think about
it.  She obviously admires him a great deal and she seems to respect
him a lot more than she does, say, Ron.  Apparently she looked
furious at Fleur kissing Harry and Ron on the cheek, and much later
is the first to make a move (and possibly compensates) by giving
Harry a quick peck before he sets off with the Dursley's.  (Then
again, maybe she kissed Ron as well after Harry left- good grief...)

One more thing- Notice how suddenly brisk and businesslike she
becomes while talking to Harry about Cho, asking if she cornered him
after the meeting, if she kissed him... I'd wondered why J.K would
even include that description of her, because generally if someone
starts acting like that it's a definite sign that, however
subconciously, they're trying to supress an emotion.  Do you know
what I mean?  I don't think that even Hermione quite realizes it
yet, but in future books I think her admiration and respect for
Harry will win out.  No idea about how Harry would react though...
any ideas?  Should be interesting, regardless.  :-)

Does anyone else agree with me here?

Pre-OOP, I thought Ron/Hermione were a given.  I also was convinced of
Harry/Ginny, even though there was very little proof.  I’ve only read OOP
once so far (daughter, brother, mom’s turns) but I got a very big
Harry/Hermione impression for the first time.  I can’t quite explain it, but
there was such a closeness between them.  They don’t have to have romantic
feelings right now.  I can see it popping up out of nowhere next year and
surprising them both. That’s what happened with my husband and I.  We were
friends for a couple years before we fell in love.  I asked him to my prom
as a friend because I needed a date.  By the time the prom came around
though, we were a couple.

Joj, who will be very disappointed if Harry doesn’t end up with SOMEBODY!
