Sue B:
Am I the only one, amid all this speculation about relationships, 
who thinks that Harry will end up, like Luke Skywalker, with no one? 
Lots of friends, no doubt, and a "family" (the Weasleys), but no 
woman?

Carol:
Maybe it's Parvati's turn to show her worth, as Ginny did in OoP? 
she did stand up for Neville way back in Book One before he fell off 
his broom, but hasn't done much more than giggle since.

Bookworm: 
I posted this theory a while ago but got no response.  With the 
flurry of interest since the Chat, I'll float this again and see 
what others think:

The most popular matches seem to be: H/H and R/L, or H/G, R/H, and 
possibly N/L.  IMHO, Neville and Luna are horribly mismatched.  
Neville (at this point) needs someone to bolster his self-
confidence. Luna is supremely self-confident but is mostly oblivious 
to others.  The other two pairings could possibly work out but...

Harry is now feeling totally isolated from everyone else.  Ginny has 
some understanding of being possessed by Voldemort but, while giving 
a warm-fuzzy feeling, it doesn't feel quite right.  Ginny does have 
both the self-confidence and compassion that Neville needs.  

As for Harry and Hermione, I have come to the conclusion that they 
are loving but platonic friends.  They make a terrific team, but not 
a good couple.  

Ron is self-confident (mostly) but also self-conscious about his 
family's situation.  The arguments between him and Hermione could be 
read as romantic interest, or as pseudo-sibling bickering.  So the 
possibility of a R/H SHIP doesn't seem as strong to me as it used 
to.  Who could balance Ron? The self-confident, un-self-conscious 
Luna.  Who has hinted that, while unconscious of others around her, 
she *has* noticed Ron.

Where does that leave us?  Neville and Ginny, Ron and Luna.  What 
about Harry and Hermione?

We know Hermione has kept in touch with Victor Krum.  Charlie 
Weasley is out recruiting members for the Order outside of Britain.  
Could Krum step back into Hermione's life in a bigger role?  Krum is 
serious, which Hermione would appreciate. His interest in sports 
would balance Hermione's academic studiousness.  

So what about Harry?  Who says the Hero Always Gets the Girl?

Okay, maybe we will see someone we already know develop more in the 
next two books.  Parvati Patil or Susan Bones are both 
possibilities. I did like Parvati at the beginning until she and 
Lavendar started giggling too much.
