But isn't it that because:
1. Ron & Hermione are closest persons in the world to Harry;
2. Two males don't hug, unless situation is VERY difficult,
3. Females are emotional (I know those are cultural stereotypes but 
still that's the way various gender reacts)?

And why Ron is not jealous of this hugging?

I made a dissection of this in post #77427 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/77427 or on my 
personal webpage: http://www.przemyslaw.plaskowicki.name/hpfgu). You may 
as well read post #77466, too for some Ron/Hermione facts.

In short, Hermione was not interested in Harry's love life.

Hermione's hit so bad it looked as she was dead. Ron was seriously 
wounded but he was still conscious. Luna received a blow from a door -- 
obviously not fatal, the same for Ginny -- it was stunning spell ("red 
light"). As for caring for Ron, here goes quote "[Harry run from 
others], inwardly praying that Neville would stay with Ron and find some 
way of releasing him."
