On her website, JKR addresses the raging shipping controversy in the following manner:
 
Q:Does Hermione love Ron or Harry?

A: I can't believe that some of you haven't worked this one out yet, but I'm not  going to answer because that would spoil the arguments, which I enjoy.

Am I the only surprised that JKR believes the answer is an easy one to work out since there are many diligent amateur Potterists who have analyzed the textual evidence who cannot answer the question beyond a shadow of a doubt? I had begun to believe that JKR wanted this question to be hard to answer.
