We have to remember that JKR has the average reader in mind when she
asks questions, not the members of lists like this one who've hashed
out every possible topic and wrung every drop of meaning from each
line in the books down to the copyright line on the title page.  

And I think she's talking about R/Hr.  Most of the hints are obscure
and I can imagine a lot of younger pre-dating readers missing them
completely.  The fact that we see them doesn't mean other non-list
readers do.

Sort of like literary thestrals, in a way.

Magda (who's pulling for Krum because she thinks Ron isn't good
enough for Hermione, especially when she'd have Molly for a mother-in-law)
