How could there be movie contamination? Amelia Bones seems like a 
strong canidate for a more proactive and fair-minded minister than 
Fudge. She was hard but fair towards Harry and seems to have a level 
head on her shoulders. She's also the head of magical law enforcement 
so she would make a good wartime leader as an ex-auror (I'm assuming). 
Not a stretch at all to suggest her.

As for Susan, she had several small, pleasant moments supporting Harry 
in book five and seems to have all the qualities I would pick for Harry 
in a mate. She seems to be one of the Hufflepuff ringleaders of her 
year and has a background similar enough to Harry to commiserate with 
them. IMO, there is just as much potential for a Harry/Susan ship as 
any other. Aside from certain literary conventions there isn't any more 
evidence for a H/G or H/Hr ship than Harry/Susan.

Both ideas strike me as emminently plausible.
