Kitten says: I am a big supporter of Minister!Amilia and 
Harry/Susan... and I think you are forgetting JKR's literary pattern 
of "slowly" introducing important things. In the first Book Hagrid, 
Telling Harry about Voldimort,  mentions the Bones. Much the same 
way that he mention Siruis Black lending the motorcycle. Then you 
have a girl Susan being sorted... then until book five we never hear 
from her again. Then not only do we get a better glimpse of Susan... 
but we meet her aunt... who seems to have a very interesting job, 
especially during war time. Which is interesting if they are "just 
names."

I don't if Harry and Susan are going to get together... for all I 
know we could never her from her again... and the next minister 
could be oprah whinfry... But I believe the Bones family is going to 
be important... and it has everything to do with the way they have 
been introduced in the books.

As for movie contamination... if you go to JKR's website she states 
that she has no control over casting... IMHO I think the thing she 
only really gets into is the script... and I think as each movie 
passes... she gives less and less input, and even that is contained 
to making sure they don't leave out important stuff.

Harry/Susan being a long shot... well, truthfully you can say that 
about any ship... for all the big talk of H/Hr, H/G, and H/L... they 
have no "superior" "more canon then thou" clues. In fact much like 
the Harry/Susan ship... they only really have is shipper's wishful
thinking and personal interpretation. You can't convince me that
one is more likely then the other
 if one was; we wouldn't be
having these debates.

Jim Ferer said: We keep predicting that the new Minister of Magic 
will be Amelia Bones, Susan's mother, and I just read a prediction 
that Harry's romantic interest will be Susan Bones.

Why? Amelia Bones certainly could be the next MoM, but at this point
she's just as much a stranger as anyone else. The same goes for
Susan, her daughter, as Harry's love interest. Predicting either one
is the same as predicting any other stranger. You can't be for either
of them and you can't be against either one.

I suspect movie contamination here....
