I totally agree with you on this point. I wrote a long theory on that 
we should not dismiss the R/H relationship and is much as likely as the 
H/H relationship. Your argument has swayed me a bit towards the latter, 
but caution would be wise; I am going to read that section again to 
confirm, but if Hermione has dreamt of kissing Harry then it is possible 
that she likes both but is not sure which way she will go. 

Harry being the easy way 'cause all would say she chose a good boy and 
Ron would be good for her 'cause she likes him but others may not think 
so, open for riducule amongst her peers which as we know at that age is 
not the best thing and that it is the important things around that stage. 

I hear people saying Hermione is far too bright for that, well just look 
at her in the first book when she ran to the toilet when the troll was 
there, she was upset by what Ron had said about her and as much as her 
having her priorities right, she was still bothered by what he said, not necessarily what other people say.
