Del:
That doesn't work for me. Imagine that Harry and Hermione (or 
Lavender or Parvati) started getting romantically interested in each 
other : would they suddenly revert from calling each other by their 
first names to start using their last names ?? No way.
Moreover, we do know of someone who's calling Hermione by her last 
name... Draco Malfoy. Should we then assume that he's secretly in 
love with her ?

Taryn:
It wasn't said that EVERYONE in love would do that. But it certainly occurs as a form of flirting. Harry and Hermione are obviously a different case--they've been best friends.

Then again, I find it really hard to swallow that Lily likes James at the time. Then again, girls of that age have this stupid tendancy to like the jerks. I just don't get it.
