When I read that paragraph, I imagined that maybe Ginny had 'helped'
Ron pick that gift for Hermione, maybe as a way of bringing those two
together.  Ginny and Herminone have struck up a friendship, so it 
makes sense that they talk about boys, and know who the other would
like to date.  Plus, Hermione always rolls her eyes when Ron goes off
on her relationship with Viktor Krum in a "You are SO blind" sort-of
way.  As if Ron can't see that she only went out with Krum out to make 
him jealous.  Hopefully the 'unusual' aspect will be revealed later 
(i.e. will it help make a potion, have some special properties when used 
by itself, etc.) Maybe if Ron ever asks her out on a date or to a dance 
she will finally wear it and something will happen!

I also see a big similarity in Hermione and Molly's personalities (smart,
strong, caring, no-nonsense).  I think most people are influenced in their 
choice of spouse by their parent's relationship, and Ron and Hermione are 
starting to mirror Arthur and Molly more and more as they get older.  They 
seem to make a great team, both equally passionate about fighting Voldemort,
and Ron is being raised to accept that Muggles (her parents) are equals to 
Wizarding-folk - as opposed to someone like Draco, who has been taught to be
prejudiced against Muggles.
