And,  In my opinion, which pairing or person you most identify 
with. Are  you more like Hermione, Ginny or Luna? >Would you 
rather be involved with someone like Hermione, Ginny or >Luna?

I'm an avid H/G shipper. I definitely >identify more with Ginny. 

Erika:
> > *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.<<

Jim:
>> I don't think that you can analyze ships by quotes, or by 
analyzing  canon.  We're not trying to prove who killed Cock 
Robin here.
 
 This is a retread, I've posted it before, but it's my take:
 
I'm an H/H shipper because time and again Harry and Hermione 
are  perfect for each other, but I started out as an H/G shipper 
and still  have a soft spot for it, so Toad and I are not opponents, 
but mirror  images:<<

Pippin:
I think it depends not only on how you want the story to end but 
on how you want it to develop. Do you prefer a fairytale romance, 
where all the obstacles to the lovers' happiness are external, or 
do you prefer an Austen-esque affair in which two apparently 
mismatched people have to work through a comic/painful 
process of self-discovery with bliss as their ultimate reward?

R/H,H/G  does not necessarily equal a sacharrine One Big 
Happy Weasley family double wedding --not if Harry has to leave 
the wizarding world in order to save it (which I believe he will.)
