Justine:
Am I the only one nerdy enough to have immediately made a connection 
between that and "'Reading between the lines, I'd say she thinks 
you're a bit conceited, mate,' said Sirius" (OotP, 649)?  I know 
it's a huge stretch and over-analytical, but that's what we're here 
for, isn't it?  ;-)  Having said that, and pretending there's a 
connection when there probably isn't, does it imply the relationship 
between Hermione and potential beau is similar to the relationship 
between Lily and James?  And does that imply R/Hr, because of the 
way Lily lists James faults for him rather loudly, as Hermione does 
to Ron?  

Truth be told, I'm completely neutral when it comes to 'shipping the 
trio, and can see both sides quite clearly.  If my odd talent for 
remembering obscure dialogue and descriptions wasn't as finely 
tuned, her quote would certainly be leaning more in H/Hr direction 
for me.

And while she may be saying that one must read between the lines of 
her answer, there really are no lines to read between... the lines 
she's referring to, I firmly believe, are strictly in the canon.

Justine,
who once freaked out when Hermione waved her hand impatiently 
because Remus did it *twice* in the Shack
