Well, there's film contamination, but that works both ways: at the end of the CoS film, we 
get the H/Hr hug followed by the awkward Hr/R handshake--which I always interpreted as 
the twelve-year-old equivalent of sexual tension rather than lack of interest. But you could 
interpret that shot either way: H/Hr or R/Hr.

Then there's the very intriguing holding-hands-dropping-hands bit in that  we can 
glimpse in the PoA trailer. That seems to imply R/Hr.

I realize this is film stuff, but if JKR is watching at all and isn't interested in R/Hr, you'd 
think she'd have said, "Oi, what are they supposed to be doing!"
