Though I never shipped (blushing, yes I'm a shipper) N/L, I have to
admit that it didn't bother me either, despite no canon hints at it
whatsoever, it was rather cute and besides, it was like saying
Seamus/Lavender... I mean, it really doesn't add much to the plot,
does it? Jo's sinking it made me wonder the reason behind that
action. After all, it wasn't that unreasonable (or ofensive,
paraphrasing her words) as for example, Hr/Draco. Evidently she
wanted to get a message across, and I believe that we might be on
the right path in guessing her way of thinking. :)

I wonder if her debunking of Nev/Luna outright means one or both of the two has a pre-
ordained pairing in store for them.  And as to with whom that could be, well, it's no secret 
Luna has had her eye on Ron, laughed at his jokes and sung his song while Neville went to 
the ball with Ginny and also had that little bout of rising to her rescue before the sextet 
left for the DoM.  

It's just interesting.  I mean why else debunk a ship unless canon shall be written to 
eventually make it untrue?  If neither Neville nor Luna were going to hook up (either 
temporarily or long term) with anyone else, then that ship is just a little romantic ideal 
floating idly in the waters and not bothering any canon--past, present or future.
