I liked the essay too, and I'm glad she's a R/Hr & H/G shipper!  
Well, I totally agree with the R/Hr evidence, but the H/G evidence 
wasn't strong enough, IMO.  At this point (end of OotP), Harry can 
just become close friends with Ginny.  Or, he can have some time to 
think about everything while he's back at Privet Drive, and when he 
sees her again, and is able to get to know her even better.

Hmm, I can go either way on that.  Ginny seemed to be getting on 
quite all right, I think we can all agree.  I think she cares for 
Harry, but I don't know if she does romantically--(crosses fingers) 
yet.

No, I didn't think he sounded disappointed.  I took this to be 
literal--he just happened to realize at that moment that Ginny has, 
in fact, started talking to him normally.

Lol, I really ship H/G, but I would not be mad at a Harry/Luna, 
because they have a lot in common, and his little chat with her 
towards the end of OotP, opened his eyes a bit.  I mean, she wasn't 
so "Loony" after all.

I just thought that this was a great way to show diversity in the 
WW.  You have different witches and wizards, talented or whatever 
else, in their own way, and how they can be noticed or appreciated 
because of it.
