I think you are right.  I think "what goes around comes around" and that 
Hermione is about to get a taste of what she gave Ron all through *Goblet of 
Fire.*  Luna definitely likes Ron and shows it; Ron isn't the kind to care 
that she's a little eccentric; and her family lives relatively close to 
hers.  If the two become an item (even temporarily) or even if Hermione just 
thinks they're an item, it may cause her to make up her mind about her 
feelings toward Ron, and maybe teach her some empathy as well (a 
characteristic which she is seriously lacking in my opinion).
