Max responds:

I certainly agree there could have been more exposition leading up to
the big monster rearing his head, but there was *enough* foreshadowing
to make it seem believable, imo. And I am most definitely not a
shipper, though I've enjoyed reading some of the debates.

To me it is not important how many people shipped or didn't ship H/G
(though I believe H/G has a large following). What is more important
is who did readers feel Harry would actually end up with (regardless
of their particular preference). In poll after poll Ginny won, hands
down. Lucky guess?. . . I think not. Sounds like there was enough
foreshadowing to me. :)
