Me:  Oh, man.  I missed the interview.  That's a really good point.  
But then again...maybe she knows we will think she's just trying to 
confuse us and thus we won't believe it (R/H) will happen, just so 
that it *will* happen, and we will still be surprised...oh why do we 
even try to interpret what she says?  She is the master (mistress?) 
of surprise.  It's all getting too confusing.  It's reached the point 
where R/H and H/H are *both* the "obvious" coupling - depending on 
who you talk to. (The media is quick to jump on H/H, but I guess it's 
the whole Hero/Female Friend dynamic...the fandom seems evenly 
split)  So if JKR doesn't do the obvious...well, does that mean 
Hermione will wind up with neither?
