*nods* I too have noticed this trend in shipping tendencies. I myself identify quite closely with Hermione and I ship H/H. To me pairing Hermione with Ron is just unthinkable. I don't relate to him at all as a character. I also have never enjoyed the arguing between Ron and Hermione. But lots of people do identify with Ron and those who ship R/H enjoy their bickering. I sometimes wonder if there is a preponderance of Ron fans on the R/H ship. Either way, I think most shippers are reading through tinted glass. We use canon to back our arguments, but the interpretation of any quote is still highly subjective.

I like to think that when I use canon I'm not just twisting it suit my needs. The thing is that most quotes are quite malleable. They can mean more than one thing. It's true that some people go too far in attempting to argue their point; they ignore or dismiss alternate readings or impose a forced interpretation onto a quote. But it doesn't have to be that way. The important thing is to keep a cool head and an open mind. Shipping debate _can_ turn into a shipping war, but it doesn't have to; it can also be a discussion between people who are interested in tossing canon back and forth and as well as in learning more about the "opposing" ship.

I wonder if a lot of fans Ship H/G and R/Hr as a neat package.

IMO Ron had no respect for Hermione's views and I cannot see the basis of a lasting relationship in their interaction. Ron rate physical top of his attraction list and Hermione is very much take me as you find me.

Molly, Ron and probably Ginny would like to ship Harry with Ginny but IMO he not only needs Hermione as a strong partner but he has total respect for her as a girl and as an individual. A very good basis for a lasting relationship.

Just my two P's worth
