Jaimee asks:

What do you mean by "Luna is to Hermione as Viktor is to Ron: a 
wake-up call"?

I understand how Viktor can be a wake-up call to Ron because Viktor 
made Ron feel jealous and become aware of feeling for Hermione (and 
I do mean *aware*! I do not mean that he understands what he's 
feeling) But I would love it if you (or anyone on the site) would 
ellaborate more on drawing such a parallel between Viktor/Ron and 
Luna/Harry...

Thank you :)
