Pat:  In OOTP, Luna showed interest in Ron.  In HBP, I have a vague 
memory that she did again - maybe you would remember better - I was in 
a stunned state, and focused on other things. I thought she squeezed 
in beside him at the table, but I may be wrong. 

Yes, Harry enjoyed Luna during the Christmas party, but I took it that 
he was laughing at her Rotfang Conspiracy theory, and couldn't really 
be with someone who honestly believed that. On the other hand, after 
Luna did the Quidditch commentary, Ron thoroughly enjoyed her, and 
hoped for more.  If R/Hr don't work out for some reason, I can see 
R/Luna in book 7.  But either way, R/Luna or H/Luna, I have to say I  
see Luna progressing into the trio better than I saw Ginny progressing 
in.  So Jo knows how to do such a thing, I just don't see her having 
done it with Ginny, despite the fact she says she did. We knew 
Hermione and Ginny were friendly, she could have used that to ease 
Ginny in, but instead, they're fighting.  I'm hoping for H/Hr and 
R/Luna.
