O.K. I know that there are a lot of incurable romatics out there, just yearning for 
various pairings to happen and for the great crescendo of of swirling strings to 
produce a best selling love theme for film 6. Ugh.

Let us not forget, folks, these are 15 year olds that you are talking about. The last 
great piece of literature that included romance for a 15 y.o. was Romeo and Juliet, 
and look how that turned out. Ginny would be the right age for Juliet, too.

My reading  of the classics gives me the impression that heroes tend to end up with 
the girl who stayed at home, not one of the group that share in the perils of a great 
and dangerous adventure. That select band become life friends and their eventual 
partners are as jealous as hell about them.

I concede that there might be hints of something more permament in book 7, but in 
the meantime please let them do a little growing up. To add to my apprehension I 
have not seen any mention of sex education classes on the Hogwarts curriculum.  The 
teens ( if I can remember that far back ) are a time of passionate whims, mad about 
them one week, "Who?" the next.

Now if you really want an interesting pairing, how about Flitwick and Madam Maxime. 
Before you scoff remember the description of Hagrids parents.
