Even in her web page JKR refuses to tell who does Hermione love, 
though, as you said, all the evidence points to a H/R relationship.  
But should be let us guide by the evident?  This is JKR, and we all 
know how much she likes to play with us, poor readers. (just joking, 
I love her twisting endings)  I think that JKR has some surprises 
for us regarding the love relationships within the "trio"

My theory is that Hermione knows that Ron has feelings for her and 
she is flattered by it and not so sure how to deal with it.  In the 
other hand, she has feelings for Harry, but she is smart enough to 
wait until he feels the same for her (or until he realizes that in 
fact he already has feelings for her).  This may be the reason why 
Hermione tells Harry that in love matters "Harry, you're worse than 
Ron.... Well, no, you're not,..."(pag 572)  Because Ron knows what 
he feels for Hermione, but he doesn't dare to tell her about it and 
is allways so clumsy and rude.  At least Harry try to make things 
work out with Cho.  

Hermione could become an issue between Harry and Ron, maybe Ron will 
turn against Harry, at least for some time. What do you think?
