I thought that was Hermione's modus operandi ;)

Nope, he doesn't. He's able to get past his prejudice (see
Hargrid, Lupin, Dobby).

Ron and Hermione have grown up in different cultures, which
explains why their experiences and opinions sometimes
differ.

Having a different opinion on some things doesn't make a
relationship impossible. Otherwise, there would be no chance
for Harry and Hermione, either, or anyone.

The perfect harmony between Harry and Hermione only exists
in phantasy, not in HP canon.

It's the ability to talk about things, instead of one
pressing and the other avoiding or ignoring, that's the
important issue.

You truly don't see a difference between the way Hermione
and Draco interact, compared to Hermione and Ron?
You don't see the caring that's underneath their bickering,
and you don't see all the interactions they have without
bickering?
