I don't think a requirement to being with Harry would be having to have gone through as much as him.  Who would ever fit that bill?  At least Hermione knows Harry very well, and knows what he's gone through, knows how he feels and understands it.  She's witnessed some of it first hand.

 That's one of the reasons I think it will be Hermione for Harry.  Can you see him getting all worked up over asking a girl to a dance or asking a girl out anymore?  He's not going to be worrying about the usual teenage things anymore.  Besides, unless they're in Gryffindor and in his grade, he really doesn't see them very much.  How much time did Harry spend with Cho between the kiss and the date?  Not much!  

Hermione fits the bill, because it would be complex, and cause all sorts of ramifications within the trio. Ramifications that could impact the story on a much bigger level.  These aren't romance novels.  For JKR to really do shipping with the main characters, there has to be more to it than simple romance for the sake of romance.  She's all about angst!

Even if she does R/H eventually, I believe Harry will be brought into it in some fashion, and I look forward to seeing JKR's cleverness here.
