Um, for "apology", substitute "rapprochement". He doesn't actually 
apologize, does he, but he does leave the door open for future 
communication.

As for Hermione...

Sexual predator? Erm? Hermione turned 17 on September 19, 1996, and by 
the standards of the WW she is thereafter of age and her own woman, 
and can take up with anybody she damn well pleases. I've had some 
ripping good times with men twenty years my senior, and I certainly 
didn't think of them as sexual predators. (They may have thought of 
*me* as a sexual predator, but that's another story... ;D)

Personally, I think Hermione is wasted on Ron. I mean, the guy can tie 
his shoes and zip his pants, but beyond that... Unless you picture our 
Miss Granger degenerating into the sort of nice little wifey who never 
uses a word of more than two syllables for fear of bruising Hubby's 
delicate male ego? That said, I don't think she's going to end up with 
Snape, because I think poor old Severus is going to end up dead and I 
hope Hermione isn't. But than Mrs. Ron, I'd rather see her as a single 
career witch like McGonagall, teaching at Hogwarts and perhaps taking 
long walks in the orangery with the ghost of Professor Snape. >;D

Purrs!
