I think that Hermione is a very repressed young woman who is so 
concerned about being proper that she never lets the child inside 
out. I have a student like her in one of my classes. I think the 
Otter is a sign that there is a fun person inside and Hermione needs 
to give herself permission to let it out. I hope she does before the 
end of the series, because I think I would like that girl.

I agree with you here. Literally the only slash story I ever read 
that I enjoyed was Harry/Ron. unfortunately it was also 
Hermione/Draco, which scarred me emotionally :)

I agree with you here as well. Hermione never seems to me to be doing 
it because she like it, but because she believed she had the moral 
imperative to set the elves free.

That's the reason why I ship Ron/Luna in my fan fics. I think Luna's 
calmness and excentricity can help Ron with his prejudices and 
sometimes ass-like attitude (Plus she would be a lot of fun to date). 
I reserve Susan for Harry :)
