I agree with all your analysis davenclaw.  Any storyline other than 
a "simple" extension of what has been heavily hinted before - R/H and 
H/G, would require a great deal of development. With only two books 
left (and one of these shorter than OOP) and with the war to 
conclude, Voldemort to defeat and a myriad questions/puzzles to be 
resolved, it is highly unlikely that JKK would spend the time 
necessary to, for example, develop and then resolve a romantic 
triangle among the trio.

Further, R/H is even more definitively foreshadowed in the moooovies, 
and although I know the cry "they just do whatever they want in 
those, nothing to do with canon", I do not for a moment believe that 
JKK would have permitted the storyline to become so committed to R/H 
if she knows that this would have to be reversed in the remainder of 
the series.

Finally, and to me most convincingly, I do not believe romance will 
be a major focus of the remaining two books - at most a "light" 
sidestory.  If that is the case, only the already set up ships R/H 
and H/G would be able to be played this way -- any other alternative 
would require complexity, exposition and/or unexpected revelations.
