No, I'm asking why would JKR write it that way?  Why
would she want a frivolous crush between trio members?
 On outside characters makes sense, it's growing up. 
But within the trio emotions (loyalty, trust, respect)
are strong and so I don't see why a frivolous (goes
nowhere and goes away) crush would be there.

I'm sorry to say I'm not going to read the essay. 
I've been involved in shipping debates since before
OOTP came out.  I've read many, many posts on H/H. 
None ever get past the point that there are no
romantic feelings there and no indication that they
are going to develop.  Oh, I've seen people point out
things that they think indicate a romantic tendancy,
but I've never agreed with a one of them.  And since
it's settled now . .
