I second that emotion!  It's really obvious (to me anyway) that Ron 
and Hermione have more than "friendly" feelings for each other, and 
though I don't know if JKR is actually going to have them "get 
together" in the series, the underlying current is that there is a 
considerable amount of male/female tension between them that just 
doesn't exist between Hermione and Harry.  (The way they are 
always "Having a go at each other", as per Harry.) 

If we had any doubts about their affection for each other, I think 
they were definitely cleared up by Ron's strong jealous reaction to 
Krum in GOF, as well as Hermione's jealousy of Fleur.  Come on 
people, she SAID she has given us so many hints about it already!
And since I can't see it really being that relevant to the outcome of 
the main story, why would she try so hard to throw us off?  It just 
doesn't make sense.  Meri's right, this is not some teenage soap 
drama, and I am most positive we will never see Harry and Hermione 
romantically involved in this series.  Sorry H/HR shippers, but it's 
not gonna happen!

Stella, who thinks Ron and Hermione should have a house full of red 
headed geniuses one day!
