Hi, I've always thought R and H would get together, at least since
COS. And, I've been waiting for Harry to find his soul mate,
something he sorely needs.

But, Sirius death isn't the only thing affecting him. He heard the
prophecy and is walking around a "marked man" as he thinks until his
liberating discussion with DD. I see his focus and seeming maturity
about LV as being a product of his knowlege of the prophecy. Also,
Harry is a reserved person about his personal feelings. JKR has often
omitted what he is thinking about himself.

She and Ron always carefully consider Harry's warnings, at least the
first few times he brings it up. But, they give good reasons for
doubting him. After a while, they just dismiss him as being obsessed
with Draco.

I was disappointed to realize in this book that Harry IS many of the
things Snape has always called him. Mediocre student, yep. Escaped
from LV through luck and more talented friends, yep.

I did think Harry spent way too much time under his Invisibility cloak
frozen and helpless.
Harry fall in love suddenly with Ginny. Comments anyone?
Harry's awareness of Ginny has been growing since she gave him that
chocolate egg in the library in OOTP. Our awareness of her chutzpah
and humor have been growing with Harry's.
Hermione seems to keep her crush well under control even

But, until Lavender (love the comment that Ron sees her as simply a
girl with a mouth) gets his attention. All the times Ron's attention
is caught by a female before, there's been no threat to Hermione:
Madame Rosmerta, whichever Patil girl he went to the ball with, Fleur,
I mean come on! But Lavender seems like a threat to her exclusive
claim (unstated to Ron, but taken for granted by H) on Ron, at least
at first. You notice, once she realizes (before Ron does) that LavLav
isn't really a match for him, she calms down and just looks superior
or tolerant when she sees L and R together.
HogwartsMom, still grieving almost as if a REAL person died.
