But OOP is written from Harry's point of view, and you just pointed 
out that H&R spend a lot of time together without Harry. So maybe it 
did happen. You get hints - Hermione's huffing about how Harry is/is 
not more feeble than Ron at Relationships, Ron's reaction to the kiss 
on the cheek, his jealousy of the letters to Viktor . . . Harry's all 
wound up in his own little world of hurt in this one, he'd 
practically have to trip over them snogging to notice, so don't lose 
heart.

I've seen this mentioned a few times, but I can't see it. Ron's 
completely queasy about people/things that are different, at least at 
first - I can't see him comfortably hanging around with Luna. 
Neville, maybe, but not Ron.
