Pippin:
If the WW is scandalized by such things, wouldn't we have found out
about it when legally adult eighteen year old Viktor was snogging underage
fifteen year old Hermione?  Well, they were scandalized, but only because
they felt Hermione shouldn't be setting her cap at Harry too.
(Maybe I should point out here that JKR has confirmed that Hermione is
nearly a whole year older than Harry. At the end of Book Seven, she'll
be almost nineteen.)

The founders thought young witches could take care of themselves,
apparently, since they didn't magick the boys' staircase. Hermione's
already invited herself into Harry and Ron's dorm room more than once.

I doubt very much we'd see Snape/Hermione in canon, but you don't
think it's going to be smooth sailing for R/H from now on, do you? Not
with so many pages to go? And whatever the relationship between 
Hermione and Snape is in Book Seven, it won't be student/professor.
Hermione's talking about leaving next year, and Snape already has.


Really, Snape's  human (IMO) and except that it would be OOC
for him to let Harry know about it, I don't see anything wrong with
him noticing that Hermione's gotten to be quite fanciable
lately and might be worth looking up when she's left school. If she 
looked anything like her filmic counterpart he'd have to
be dead from the neck down not to notice. I'm sure as he's an
occlumens, he'd be able to keep his thoughts to himself.

Pippin
who thinks Ron's intelligence, like his quidditch skills, has been
masked by his lack of confidence and his fear of showing off.
In any case, IMO, it would be better to grow old with Ron -- he doesn't
have to know where the twinkle in her eye is coming from <veg>
