Sandra: "Didn't Jo say that most people are afraid of Ron being
killed, and didn't she sounded somewhat disappointed that nobody was
worried about Hermione? (Sorry I do not have the exact quote)"

The sense seemed to be that everyone believed Hermione would be OK.
Here's the quote:

JKR: 'It's great to hear feedback from the kids. Mostly they are
really worried about Ron. As if I'm going to kill Harry's best friend.
What I find interesting is only once has anyone said to me, "Don't
kill Hermione," and that was after a reading when I said no one's ever
worried about her. Another kid said, "Yeah, well, she's bound to get
through O.K. '

I can't find one that says she's going to kill the character 'she most
resembles.' I didn't expect to find it, because if she said it she
might as well have told us straight out that she's killing off Hermione.

JKR went on to discuss Hermione's emotional vulnerability.

Personally, I also think Hermione will survive, but let ME say
straight out that I have no proof whatsoever.
