<snipped>I considered a H/L ship, but I couldn't get there, because 
imho Luna would drive Harry nuts.  She'd try to take him along on a 
hunt for crumple-horned snorkaks or some other "mythological" beast 
and he'd want to be off fighting evil wizards and saving people.  
Different types of quests entirely (again JMHO).  

I just wanted to say a little something about H/L.  you say she 
would drive him crazy, but we know it wouldn't based on Harry's 
actions at the Slug party with her. He found her to be amusing and 
he ended up being glad he took her. As for the crazy quests, I 
actually think they would be romantic.  Imagine Harry, long hard 
year of world saving has this conversation with Luna.

Luna: It's time for our annual trip to Sweden to look for Snorkaks. 
I feel good about our chances this year.

Harry: We didn't find anything last year, Lune, what makes you think 
we'll have better luck this summer?

Luna (smiling serenely): we'll just have to make sure we actually 
leave the hotel room this time.

Harry (also smiling): That *was* a good vacation, wasn't it?

(walks off whistling)

Harry likes Luna. He thinks she is funny-weird, not creepy-weird 
like every other student.  She has a lighthearted sense of humor 
that I think would do well to balance out Harry's edge.  Ginny 
doesn't do that. While she is funny, her sense of humor is all about 
mocking/pranks/insults. It tears down, not builds up. Luna is just 
more pleasant in my view. I think Ginny would get old while Luna 
would always be fresh.

Just one wacky H/Ler's opinion
