Yes. Did you notice that somehow, it seems that Trio's "binder" position 
is slowly shifting from Harry to Hermione? I mean previously Trio was 
Trio mostly because both Ron & Hermione liked spending time with Harry. 
Now, somehow, I've got hunch that Trio is still Trio because both Ron 
and Harry like spending time with Hermione. I'm not saying that Ron and 
Harry are no longer very good friends, but I believe that tip of Harry's 
scales (I'm not sure if I got that English idiom right) changed in 
favour of Hermione instead of Ron.
