The SHIPS and why I think they were there

Some people have complained of HBP being "too shippy"
and I can certainly see where they are coming from.  I
believe there is a reason (other than fan appeasement)
that SHIPS were so prominent in this book.

Firstly, I really do believe that JKR wanted to get it
"out of the way" - to make known what ships were going
to sail.  This means that (hopefully) the audience
will be concentrating on things more important than
"who will Hermione end up with" (well H/H v. R/H was
the biggest debate) when reading book 7.

Secondly, I think it's possible (wouldn't put money on
it) that Ginny and Harry's love for each other (I
think we are meant to take it as love) will play a
part in book 7, even if Ginny doesn't much.

This is where Remus/Tonks comes in.  This showed us
Tonks losing her abilities and such and told us the
reason why. I'm thinking that Hary might be on the
weak side because he's denying himself love.  

I once read a book where a woman could heal people. 
She didn't know how, she just could.  Then she met a
guy and fell in love, but she broke up with him to
save him from the stigma of being attatched to her
(she was reguarded as the town witch).  Then, when she
tried to heal someone she couldn't and the person
died.  And she came to realize that it was love that
allowed her to heal people and that denying it was
blocking her ability.  So, I'm thinking something like
that *could* happen in HP.  Not saying it will, just
that it's a possibility.
