I sure hope, JKR isn't using her RL *that* much in her
story.

It would be just a little too strange to have her do this.
So Mary-Sueish, which I hope and think, JKR manages to stay
away from.

I mean, HP is not a veiled biography of JKR's life, with
everyone based on people she knows, and everyone following
the same path those RL people took.

She may give some characteristics of RL acquaintances to her
book characters, but I don't believe she would go quite as
far as thinking: Well, everyone should have realized where
Ron and Hermione were going, seeing how I am Hermione and
Ron is my friend soandso (Sean, I think, but not 100% sure).

I've seen it mentioned, also, that Hermione would end up
with Harry, because some people think her current husband
looks like an adult Harry.

I don't know why, but I find this a little creepy. Maybe it
skirts too close to shipping real people, for me.
