Del replies :
On this list, you'll find just as many H/H shippers as R/H. All of 
them have good cases, good arguments, personal reasons for seeing 
only this or that possibility, personal ideas of what would make 
Harry happy, personal desires concerning Harry's future mate, etc... 
If you were looking for the final, decisive argument in favour of 
either SHIPs, sorry, we haven't found it yet :-)

Del replies :
It all depends on what *you* think belongs in a healthy 
relationship. There are many couples out there who *thrive* on 
arguing. Others, like mine, simply can't stand fighting, it makes us 
completely miserable. On the other hand, there are many couples 
where it's okay if the spouses are not completely open and honest 
with each other, but it's out of the question in mine. The way Harry 
keeps so many of his feelings and thoughts from Hermione and vice-
versa, the way they keep information from each other (Harry not 
telling Hermione that Dobby is taking all her hats for example, 
Hermione not telling Harry about, well, tons of things :-), is 
absolutely horrifying for me when I think of them together. I know 
everything that's going on in my husband's life and he in mine, 
that's the way we like it and need it to be, and we can't imagine 
any other way *for ourselves*. But if Harry and Hermione would be 
happy this way, let them get together !

So you see, it all depends on *your* view of love and the world.
