I agree with this, but I think Harry might grow emotionally.  I'm not 
predicting an H/H ending, but I think it *could* happen.

At this point, Hermione is much more emotionally mature than both 
Harry and Ron -- and isn't that the way it always seems to work in 
real life too?  Girls at that age are almost always a couple years 
ahead of boys in terms of emotional development.  Harry's 
interractions with Cho were a complete disaster; it took Hermione to 
explain to him what Cho's needs were, and in the end, he still didn't 
seem to get it.

When they all mature, we'll see what happens.  When it comes down to 
it, I think almost any set of pairings is possible, but personally I 
think I like H/H slightly more than H/R.
