I see her answer differently (of course, I'm a solid, can't-be-
shaken, R/H-er <g>). The only romantic clues that have appeared in 
the books ar of Ron's feelings for Hermione. I think we all agree on 
that, right? So, going by that, I interprete her answer as pointing 
to a possible Ron/Hermione romance. There are certainly no clues to a 
romantic attachment happening between Harry and Hermione.
