Angie, commenting on how Harry and Luna seem to connect: "However,
that connection is, shall we say, intermittent, limited to those times
when Luna is, shall we say, Lucid? She reminds me of people I see in a
nursing home. You start talking to them and they seem to be with it
and then, bam, they are off in another world."

Right, but Luna's something of an air person, she doesn't have a
dementia. IOW, she can change, maybe.  Your point that Luna's quirks
might get on Harry's nerves is well taken, but we have to consider
that Harry might be good for Luna in the same way she's good for him.
 We haven't had a chance to see that yet.

I've always had a soft spot for eccentrics like Luna, maybe because I
admire people who have the courage to go their own way without
worrying too much what other people think. Eccentrics often have a
high degree of happiness for just that reason.

I've always thought the point of that scene is that it is compassion
for someone else that begins to recall Harry to his humanity.  More of
the power that Voldemort knows not, IOW.

Angie again: "But I do believe she will become a closer friend to
Harry and will help Harry learn to cope with Sirius's death. Maybe
they'll have a short-term fling while Ginny's busy with Dean and then
-- bam -- in Book 7 Harry will finally fall for Ginny!"

Maybe! Luna seems attracted to Ron, though, so that under your
scenario while Ron is figuring out Hermione is too intense for him,
Harry and Luna share some time. I do believe that you're 100% right
that Harry will always have Luna in his heart, no matter how romance
turns out.  As for Ginny, I was an H/G shipper before I was H/H, and
still have no problem with H/G at all. As a matter of fact, I claim
authorship of the __H/P Shippers' Daily Affirmation:__

"Say it loud, we're corny and we're proud! We love Her-my-o-ninny, but
we're gonna root for Ginny!"

P.S. The "we're corny" part was a reference to many listie's revulsion
at the saccharine possibilities of the One Big Happy Weasley Family
concept.
