Larry:
Compare this to H/G. There are no insecurities, hence no need to 
verbalize the ship, there is absolutely no need to seek reassurance 
as there would be in a less secure ship. Volumes are spoken in a 
glance or a touch; the very lack of any relationship blather is JKR's 
indirect hint, through behavior and not dialogue, of the rightness 
and permanance of the H/G ship.

Me:
This is an interesting point Larry, but the lesson I've learned from 
all this (as a mildly chastised H/Hr shipper ;)) is *not* to look 
beyond the obvious when it comes to romance or to try to decipher 
clues, hints or attempt to figure out what the author may be saying 
on my own or look at subtext but rather to merely rely on the 
superificial reading given me by the *anvil-sized* clues and 
Rowling's interviews. How then do I know in which direction I need to 
focus my laser in order to understand the message you mention above? 
Or is this merely a case of focus it anywhere you like as long as its 
where the author meant it to be focused? (Maybe I need a companion 
reader to help me figure out what I'm meant to be seeing ;))
