Mayeaux45:  Assuming Hermione is someone to be stolen in the first 
place... Ron doesn't *have* her yet and neither does Harry for that 
matter.  Hermione's a big girl.  She's been through a lot more than 
an average 15 yr old girl.  I'm sure she can make up her own mind.  
Don't you think?  Besides, romance won't be that big of a factor in 
the HP series, but it will be a minor sub-plot.  JKR has already 
stated in her response to a question about Harry and his love 
life "what's life without a little romance" ;)!

Mayeaux45: I agree Julie.  That pretty much sums up my feelings 
on the matter at this particular time.
