be a hint towards an H/HR leaning? It's often been touted  that 
R/HR is "obvious," especially by R/HRers themselves, while 
H/HR  supporters wave the banner of subtext. One certainly 
doesn't need to  read between the lines to glean a R/HR leaning.

Pippin:
Erm, one does have to read between the lines to get what 
Hermione is feeling toward either Ron or Harry. However, there 
isn't, even in the subtext, any hint that Harry currently has 
romantic feelings toward Hermione, at least I can't recall that 
even the most ardent H/H'ers make that claim.At most they have 
suggested that Harry could develop such feelings in the future. 
But if we have all the clues we need, isn't that ruled out?
