Pippin:> 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."

Hermione's life has been completely transformed by knowing Harry.  She
could have easily ended up another Percy, a Ravenclaw prig. Not now,
and nevermore; Hermione is a true Gryffindor heroine.  And she knows
it; as early as PS/SS she knew it.

Harry has been the one who needed to stay in one piece most of the
time, and he hasn't thought about her needs much; but he's starting to
identify with her thoughts and realize how much she means to him; in
the MoM battle, for example, when she's wounded.

But how could a partnership be more equal than theirs?  She prepares
him for his challenges, curbs his excesses (with varying degrees of
success) and knows just what he needs.    Harry owes Hermione a lot.

Harry and Hermione are converging.
