Yes, I've wondered about that too, though I don't think I ever wrote a
post about it. But you've obviously given that theory a lot more
thought than I ever did :-) You even very nicely answered my main
question while I was reading your earlier post : how *could* she write
to Viktor ? She would have a secret way... That's very possible,
especially since the girl has already proven herself to be trustworthy
in PoA over the Time-Turner matter. You could very well be right you
know ?

Del replies :
Ah well :-) I don't see them as real soulmates. I see Hermione as
being very attuned to Harry's needs and inner workings, though she
still does make big mistakes sometimes. But I just don't see Harry as
being any good for Hermione. He gives her a purpose, but that's all.
He doesn't care about her emotional needs, he doesn't bother trying to
figure out how she works inside. The way I see it, she could become
his soulmate, but he will never be hers. And I want the girl to be
happy, understood and truly supported by her companion, which is why I
can't envision a H/H SHIP. Sorry guys :-) !
