SHIP: One more point...

My first post on this forum.  Please be gentle. :)

I've been reading a lot of the SHIP posts (recent, and some older 
ones), and while I am not entirely sold on any particular theory of 
how it will all turn out, there is one point that I have not seen 
mentioned yet, so I thought I'd throw it out.  If someone has already 
mentioned this and i missed it, I apologize.

The common sentiment that I have seen expressed by the non-R/H camp 
is that, while it is clear that Ron likes Hermione, there is no 
evidence that she has feelings for him.  But there is at least one (I 
think) solid piece of evidence to that effect.  In Chapter 21 of 
OotP, Ron gets jealous when he sees Hermione writing her long letter 
to Krum right in front of him in the common room.  Then in Chapter 
26, Hermione and Harry are talking about Harry's date with Cho, and 
Harry complains that Cho had spent the whole date talking about other 
guys (Cedric and Roger Davies).  To this, Hermione laughs and 
says, "Harry, you're worse than Ron..."  Hermione then proceeds to 
explain to Harry that Cho had probably been trying to make him 
jealous, to find out how much Harry liked her.

What did Hermione mean by "Harry, you're worse than Ron?"  Isn't she 
basically telling us that she had been trying to make Ron jealous 
when she wrote the long letter to Krum in front of him?  Or is there 
another meaning that I am overlooking?
