I agree with you Mandy.  I do think that Hermione is very jealous, 
but her reaction may have even surprised herself?  Maybe that is why 
she asked the questions in such a way?  Trying to distance herself 
but on the inside, burning?  Maybe she is struggling with her 
feelings right now.  I have to admit that I am a H/Hr shipper.  I 
think they belong together.  Even Lily detested James until their 
7th year.  A lot can happen, and I am sure...will.

Becki, now an official, admitted H/Hr shipper.
