Don't worry, at least some people were able to get your arguments.
And I, for one, think that they make quite a lot of sense.

I don't care one way or another for Harry/Hermione, or Ron/Hermione, or 
Harry/Ginny (I don't read these books for kiddies relationships, 
romantic or otherwise, to tell you the truth ;-)) but your arguments for
"show, don't tell" are very good.

See, we didn't need to be told "Harry has matured over the summer 
holidays". It was obvious from his behaviour. Why she couldn't do the 
same for romance, I don't understand.

Oh, and I don't want to hear how Ron learned to respect what's important 
for Hermione. I want to see a convincing demonstration. Until then, I'll 
feel very sorry for Hermione, succumbing to peer pressure to have a 
boyfriend, and getting a completely unsuitable one. (Again, I'm not a 
H/H shipper, OK? Harry wouldn't have been much better for her).
