So do I. But I must admit, I am a Ron/Hermione shipper therefore I am 
slightly biased *cough*. I am especially surprised, that people saw 
it as H/H hint, that he saved her, when Grawo wanted to smash 
Hermione. I mean, Harry is a hero, he would want to save anything, 
especially one of his best friend.

Again, I agree. I honestly like Luna, but I can't see her with Harry. 
By the way, didn't JKR say, that Harry would be with a girl who was 
in all books, or am I imagine that? That would clearly rule out Luna.

I don't like this much either. Plain and simply because I don't like 
Ginny all that much. I think she's the character with the most 
unconvincing development, especially the way how it was done. 
However, I am afraid that's what we are leading for.

So Myrtle is your candidate? She surely wouldn't mind. And JKR told 
us that she's coming back. No, just kidding. Susan Bones might be a 
candidate (though not, if JKR really said that the girl would be in 
every book, because Susan isn't). But I personally want her to remain 
a background character. I don't think it's realistic that everyone 
who lost family members in the first war has to play an important 
part, some just have to remain names. By the way, I don't think the 
name "Bones" bodes very well for her. It's nearly, as if JKR would 
have called her skeleton. Maybe the Bones' family is another one, who 
will be destroyed. I don't like Hannah Abbott, She gets on my nerves, 
therefore big No/No for Harry/Hannah. Well, maybe Lavender or one of 
the Patils? No, I think verything is leading to Harry/Ginny.
