way Hermione thinks and hearing her voice inside; Hermione 
knowing just what Harry needs and exerting herself for it with 
intelligence and even ruthlessness if needed.  <<

You know, this sort of relationship sounds way too much like 
transference to be healthy. How could Harry ever be 
sure it wasn't his neediness that had drawn her to him? How 
could she?

Is there any indication that Hermione identifies with the way 
Harry thinks or hears his voice inside when she's got a difficult 
decision to make, or that he cares what *she* needs? I think 
Harry would be happier in a more equal relationship, myself.
