There's always the possibility that J.K. Rowling will end the books 
with no couples together. The kids will only be 17 or so. If I were 
to guess potential pairings, I'd say Luna with Neville is a good 
bet. They're both underdogs who came through for Harry in a big way 
in Order of the Phoenix. They're naturally going to be thrown 
together as members of Dumbledore's Army. Look at the names, too. 
Luna "Lovegood" and Neville "Longbottom." Both are fairly comical, 
classic English surnames that spell out who they are as characters. 
Luna is a little loony, but most importantly she does "love good." 
And Neville may have an unusually large back side, but 
isn't "courage" and "staying power" one definition of "bottom?" 
Neville's no quitter. 

I think it'll be Hermione with Ron and Ginny with Harry, if all four 
of them survive to the end of the books. Too many hints that point 
in that direction. Luna and Neville are both supporting characters 
and good friends, but they're not leads.
