Del replies :
The way I see it, when Ron becomes a man, either the VWII is over or
it is not. If it is, then Ron will be a great war hero, but then so
will Harry. Whether someone was a general or a captain doesn't make
much difference once they go back to civil life. If the war is not
ended, then neither the general nor the captain will retire to civil
life, and neither of them will have an ordinary life.
So I say that what applies to Ron applies also to Harry. If Ron can't
have Hermione because he will have an ordinary life, then neither can
Harry.

Del replies :
First of all, we don't know that.
And I'm reminded of Harry's fantasy dreams about Cho : he wanted her
to admire him. So again I say that what applies to Ron applies also to
Harry.

Harry is *forced* into his life of risk and adventure. He's not
*looking* for it. He didn't choose it.
Ron, on the other hand, chose to stick with Harry even when he
realised that this was leading him into a rough life. So IMO if anyone
showed that they wanted an extraordinary life, it's Ron, not Harry.

After all, in the Mirror of Erised, it's Harry who saw his family. Ron
saw his ambitions.



Now Udderpd

I would just like to put in two knutts worth. 

Let us not forget that Hermione also chooses to stay with Harry. If her target were just Ron she would not have to be so closely involved with Harry.
