Mike:

   I agree with Lee.  Luna seems to have this inate ability to be 
sympathic with people who needs sympathy.  Nothing seems to rattle 
her.

   We also see her in the last chapter with Harry.  Since they have 
both lost someone close, there is a connection.  I see her as 
someone who unconditionally accepts Harry for who he is.  She will 
be a person who he can vent, and she would not be affected as Ron 
and Hermione were.

   I don't know who she will end up with in a relationship.  I am 
one of those who don't look to much into those things.  She is 
however a very facinating character.
