Q:Dear Ms. Rowling, I'd like to ask if there would be a lot of romances 
between the characters in the upcoming books?

A:Good question. I'm having so much fun writing Book 4 because for the 
first time Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are starting to recognize boys and 
girls as boys and girls. Everyone is in love with the wrong people. Let 
no one say my books lack realism.

Oh, my! Only reasonable defense for that would be:
1. She meant Ron/Fleur;
2. Ron was not (as of book 4) in_love_ with Hermione -- I'd argue that 
his feeling were suddenly waken up duriny Yule Ball and crystalised 
during OOP summer holidays and even after Yule he has troubles 
communicating with Fleur.
3. R -> H SHIP was just foreshadowed during book 4 and it was blown out 
of proportions by R/H Shippers, JKR couldn't mean *that* ship ;-)
