Brilliant.  You've made my day.  I was so frustrated by their behavior
- I knew it didn't really add up.

So many clues must add up to something.

But, I think you have to consider that Ginny really is a plausable
mate for Harry.  Harry needs Hermione in his fight more than he needs
Ginny, but Ginny is so much more *like* Harry.  Also, he's never shown
any romantic interest in Hermione.

As difficult as it is for me to get my head around the R/H pairing,
Hermione's actions toward Ron were persistent, crafty, and patient. 
Those are much more Hermione's trademarks than the effects of a love
potion.  Ron's feelings were telgraphed well in advance.
