Ali:
Not being a shipper of anything (I like the idea of certain couples but don't see much proof of anything in the books), I'm not sure I should jump into this volatile conversation, but I'll risk it.  One of my friends staunchly believes that Harry/Ginny is the most obvious relationship in the books aside from the R/Hr pairing.  His reasoning is that Harry will be drawn to Ginny by the fact that he is Ron's best friend.  Ron's family has practically adopted Harry, and by marriage to Ginny, Harry will be fully integrated into the family.  The combination of Ginny's pull - she is a spunky girl and not too bad a match for Harry's personality - and her family's happiness is my friend's reasoning behind the Harry/Ginny theory.

Personally, I can't see it.  I see minor indications for the possibility of the R/Hr thing, but I can't see that working out in the long term.  They would drive each other to madness.  If forced to pick a pair, I'd have to go with H/Hr.  There's not a lot of cannon evidence, but the dynamics between the two makes me think that their getting together is probably more likely in the long term.

~Ali, who would like to sail the HMS Pumpkin Pie except she can't really see its happening as such a likely thing (like other Pumpkin Piers)
