For Ginny, I hope she ends up with Neville, who has a
huge crush on her. He asked her out to the Yule Ball
and the only reason Neville ends up in Umbridge’s
office in OoP is because he tried to stop Draco and Co
from taking Ginny. I thought that was very sweet!
That’s why I hope when she realizes how Neville feels
about her she reciprocate his feelings.

Everyone is always saying that most people don't marry someone they meet in 
school.  Most people aren't witches or wizards and meeting everybody that is 
like them at Hogwarts.  If Harry or any of the others are going to marry within 
the wizard world then they have probably met their future partner in school 
already.

When they leave school and go to work in the wizard world, who in their age 
group are they going to meet that they haven't met in school?

I'm with Franzi on a future Neville/Ginny relationship.  As far as H/Hr or 
R/Hr, I agree that readers are seeing what they want to see.  If Rowling puts 
Ron and Hermione together, I can point to numerous situations that indicate this 
as a possibility.  If she puts Harry and Hermione together, I can point to 
just as many situations.  Both H/Hr and R/Hr shippers have selective reading 
ability.  They see only what supports there ship.

It comes down to who we think would be better with Hermione.  My only bet is 
that the other boy takes an interest in Luna.
