Sawsan here:
Ok this is more like it. I felt the same about Susan Bones getting
attention in the first book; then minor mentions here and there; and
then in OotP, Harry doesn't know her, but he knows she's in
Hufflepuff. She seems sweet, brave, and knows how it is to have the
Dark Mark lingering above her door. Don't get me wrong, I love Ginny,
even Luna; but IMO Susan seems so far like a good choice for Harry
(but I don't think he's in the mood anyway knowing his fate now and
all). Unfortunately, she's in Hufflepuff, so I don't imagine too much
interaction can happen between them, unless Harry continues the DA,
and he eventually notices her. I feel for Ginny, and even though I
love Harry, she needs to move on; which apparently she has; with
Michael Corner, Neville (in GoF), and now apparently Dean Thomas. As
for Hermione, well as much as I would love for H/Hr to happen, I just
don't see a happy marriage between her and Ron. Who knows, she might
end up with Krum or maybe even Percy, if he ever grows out of his
"pompous, idiotic, git" stage. 

Sawsan, who agrees with Carol about a yearly Yule Ball.
