Actually, this already happened at the beginning of OoTP, although it 
was in a completely non-shippy way. Harry was indeed angry with both 
Ron and Hermione for being cooped up together and leaving him 
alone... although he had passed thru a pretty traumatic experience 
and even Dumbledore agreed that sticking him in Privet Drive without 
any news of the Wizarding World was a grave mistake.

Having recently lost someone myself, I can guarantee that at the end 
of OOTP Harry WANTS to be left alone. He has too many issues to work 
on himself than to care if his best friends are dating (unless he 
discovers he has romantic feelings for Hermione, or even Ron!).

However, as proven in PoA and GoF and even in OoTP, we can be sure 
that even if Hermione dates Ron, she will never leave Harry alone, 
even if he wants her to.
