None of those reasons, however, are part of the evidence.

Those are both part of the evidence. My opinion is that matters
that make a teenage girl 'simply furious' aren't worth remembering,
because it'll be gone with the next moon (I have been a scout
leader or teacher for many girls in their teenage years - and
emotional stability or persistence is, in my experience, very
rare).

I offer no opinion as to who will eventually end up with whom
(I really have no preference) - my claim is that the evidence
so far is stronger for a long term interest in Harry than it
is for Ron.

Which is of course just as good a reason as any.
Different people weigh the evidence differently - I try to
distinguish between whom Hermione may be in love with and whom
she may love, and I therefore weigh the evidence with that in
mind.
