SUSANNE: lot seems to depend on how the reader feels about
relationships. If they see verbal sparring as all around
negative, and have never seen that it can be just as loving
as the quiet, on the surface always getting along,
relationships. Verbal sparring can be a lot of fun, if it is 
tempered bylove... 

NEIL: Make a list of the good and bad qualities of Harry, Ron, 
Hermione, Luna,Ginny, Draco, Neville and any others that you can 
think of and then compare them. The only person worse for Hermione 
than Ron is Draco.

JIM: Harry and Hermione are converging all the
time, working, thinking and acting together. Ron, for all his
valuable friendship and loyalty, seems to be along for the ride.


ME: I don't think that ron is worse for hermioine then draco.
It's like what susanne says, Ron and Hermione sparring is
tempered by a deep friendship. Ron states what he believes in; He 
never belittles her by calling her nasty names. I have grown up in a 
house where I not only listened to my parents argue everyday I 
joined in. So to me the way that Harry and Hermione interact seems 
negative to me, its just not what I'm used to. I see Harry always 
backing off, never telling hermione to leave him be, never sticking 
up for what he believes in; to me it's almost like he doesn't
care. Ron and Hermione have the relationship that I can relate to. I 
see ron expressing himself, inserting his ideas and believes going 
head to head with Hermione and never backing down. I see that 
as "converging, working, thinking and acting together" though I do 
agree with Jim that the poor boy does seem to be "along for the 
ride" but, I also think that Ron will surprise us all in the up 
coming books. Do something that will make ours, and maybe 
Hermione's, jaws drop.

kitten,
who can't wait until her husband comes home so they can continue 
their argument on whether Martha Stewart deserved to get jail time.
