Now Cory:

I had never really thought about the significance of the Christmas 
presents before, but since you two pointed it out, I'll add my .02.  
I think the gifts could cut either way in the 'shipping debate.  Ron 
got Hermione a gift that he thought was "romantic," even though it 
might not have been one that she liked or one that fit her 
personality (we don't know whether Hermione even wears perfume, do 
we?)  On the other hand, Harry got her a gift that is not romantic, 
but which is something that he knew she would like.  While this might 
suggest "just friends," it might also suggest that he is more in tune 
with Hermione than Ron is.

As an aside, I would also add Hermione's birthday gift to Harry in 
Book 3 to the discussion (when, instead of a book, which he expected 
from her, she gave him a broom servicing kit, which he liked.)
