choice really.  <eg>  Don't you realize that the girl you're 
describing: a "great heroine" who has "made sacrifices" is none other 
than our beloved Hermione?  As others have commented, Hermione really 
is the only female character who yet fits the bill of being a strong 
and developed enough character of the right age to pair off with 
Harry (IMO).  I know we've also debated off & on over the years 
whether Hermione is the heroine or not, but as one poster noted 
earlier today, up until the Dementors arrived at the Lake in PoA, 
Hermione was at least equally instrumental in the outcome of events 
in PoA.  I don't have the energy to try & write a nice essay on why I 
think Hermione might indeed qualify as "heroine" of the series, but I 
do think it's possible.  I guess we might have more fodder one way or 
another in 4 days time!  Whee.......

I personally have nothing against Hermione. She is a great girl, very 
worthy of affection from Harry. I would love to be waving that banner 
with you. But there is the problem of Ron. It is obvious they are 
both (R/Her) feeling that awful teen angst towards each other. If 
J.K.R. goes the H/H route, all I have to say, is that she had better 
kill Ron off(Heaven forbid!). Otherwise the whole trio will be ripped 
to shreds, including Harry and Hermione. If Ron was ticked about 
Harry getting attention in GoF, imagine if he stole Hermione from him.

I also just don't see Harry as the type of boy who would do that to 
his friend. Friendship doesn't survive betrayl like that. It's just 
not done.
