I, like you Penny, think that it is best for them to be with other 
people and then realize their feelings for each other.  I'll even be 
happy if Hermione and Ron get together (maybe Harry will realize his 
feelings for her).  He'd then be the one to console her because Ron 
would be the one to most likely break up with her.  I have a feeling 
he may leave her due to his interest in anothet girl, say Lavender or 
Parvati.  The thing is how will JKR develop such romances for Harry 
with everything that's going on.  I doubt she'll leave such juicy 
details of Harry's love life for an epilogue, unless the epilogue is 
the size of a regular book, then I don't have a problem (especially 
if it's with Hermione). ;)

I think Hermione may have suffered a little heart-ache already when 
Ron said, "Hermione's, Neville's right - you *are* a girl..."  I 
would have been crushed if the guy I like, or had a crush on, told me 
that.  It's as if she's never existed.  Imagine!?  I think I would 
have knocked him out! ;)
