Despite all the debate that Ron *deserves* to have love and not get 
hurt with the possible relationship between H/Hr...We are forgetting 
the most IMPORTANT theme of the HP series that JKR has repeatedly 
pointed out.  LOVE!  And let's face it, at this point in the HP 
series the only character that is feeling the MOST hurt, alone, and 
unloved when it comes to family and possible romantic involvements, 
is HARRY *bloody* Potter!  If anyone deserves it, it would be 
Harry.  Let's stop feeling 'oh so sorry for poor Ronald' ( whom I 
absolutely ADORE...don't get me wrong!)  

But too much emphasis is being put on him for being spared the hurt of losing a possible romance with Hermione.  Harry has very few joys besides Quidditch! 
He also has a short list of people in his life that have been there 
for him 100% without faltering in their loyalty. Of course he has 
Ron (but he proved to be not completely 100% loyal in GoF), he has 
Dumbledore (but then he too kept CRUCIAL information from Harry when 
he needed it most in OotP), he also has Prof. Lupin (but as recent 
posts have so cleverly pointed out ,as well as the PoA movie, he too 
may very well be keeping important info. from Harry as well).  
Sirius is DEAD, Lily and James are DEAD, the Dursleys' LOATHE him 
(with the exception of his Aunt Petunia who we have yet to *really* 
find out about), Prof. Snape finds every opportunity he can to 
undermine him and put him as well as his father down (even after the 
battle at the MoM Snape is still cruel, cold, and heartless towards 
Harry), and as if that wasn't enough....the weight of the entire WW 
is on his teenage shoulders!  

PHEW!  Can we get some well needed 
sympathy for Harry too or should I write more?  IMO, Hermione is the 
ONLY one thus far, that has shown unwavering solidarity and loyalty  
towards Harry!  That speaks volumes...once again IMO!
