I'm not really a shipping person but as everybody else is having a 
go, here's my little take.
Given JKR's passion for Jane Austen, I have no doubt at all that 
Hermione will finish up with Ron.  Think not just Elizabeth Bennet 
and Darcy, but Marianne Dashwood, who is constantly sniping at poor 
Colonel Brandon until nearly the end of the book, and poor deluded 
Emma who can't see the wood for the trees where Mr. Knightley is 
concerned.  Also, there's Beatrice and Benedick, the original 
quarrelling/secretly in love couple. This may sound as if Jo is 
following a rather well-trod path but I don't mean it like that.
To compare her to Jane is one of the highest compliments I can pay 
her.
