Cressida replies: Very well done on this Susanne I couldn't have put 
it better myself. With all respect to 'shippers' I have seen very 
little in reading the books to actively support any of them in a big 
way. If anything there appear to be most pointing towards Ron and 
Hermione and I can see how she would make this an important plot 
device re Harry and his possible alientation but I wouldn't like to 
stake my life on it! I do realise that Rowling is subtle but to say 
that the pillow thing is a quasi-sexual reference beggars belief. Are 
we not simply meant to infer that Harry has mastered banishing charms 
with the same ease as Hermione? That is certainly what I gathered 
from this statement but then I admit that I read the books to enjoy 
the characters and plot not to take every single reference and apply 
it to my 'chosen ship'. I think the only think it proves is that 
there are HP fans out there who, dare I say it, need to get out more.
