GEO: If I recall she cheered him up by  giving him information that 
turned out to be false and misleading so in  the end listening to 
Ginny really didn't turn out to be his benefit  considering his 
possession by Voldemort was quite different than that she  
experiences via his diary.

How exactly do you know Ginny was lying GEO?  Just because they
had different experiences doesn't mean that she was lying.  Are
you suggesting that Ginny was willing to open the CoS, or that 
she was aware of her actions during that time?  It is quite possible  to
have the same thing happen to two different people and them end up 
with 2 very different accounts on how it happened.  If you need any  proof
of that, just ask any woman who has given birth, every situation is  
different,
but it still ends in a baby.

GEO: Yes, but a lot of the  arguments for the H/Hr ship has been that 
the potential and opportunity  for a romantic relationship is greater 
between the two of them because of  their great friendship as many 
have acknowledged and a certain lack of  chemistry and attraction in 
my opinion certainly doesn't nullify or sink  the H/Hr ship.

Chancie:
 
 Is it also your opinion that relationships don't require  chemistry?
I must admit that is a very odd position to take.  Please  explain.
 
I still would like to hear your thoughts on the fact that JKR was  asked
"Will Harry and Hermione  *****EVER***** have a date?"  she said 
NO, but that she won't answer for anyone else.  You've said  before
that she was talking about GoF, but the word EVER in my opinion is
An indefinite thing.  Jo may be misleading with her answers at times, 
But are you suggesting that she would out and out lie?  I don't  think
she would, especially since she knows we'll find out one way or the 
other later on, and then she'd be forced to deal with all the  Ron/Hermione
Shippers who would want to tell her off for giving them false hope.
Besides she's said she wasn't going to answer questions before, why  didn't
she apply that to this question if she was trying to hide something.   I think
it is VERY clear that Harry and Hermione will NEVER EVER end up 
together.
