Janeway:
> It seems to me like the basic problem with JKR's portrayal of Harry 
and Ginny's relationship is that she treats it like a MYSTERY, 
using "clues", rather than like a ROMANCE, exploring feelings.
Romance is all about mystery and obsession and frustrated desire, and 
finally release and revelation. 

Lynda says:

JKR is not writing romance novels.  What she is writing is fantasy, mystery, adventure.  And they are not primarily geared for adults, but children, although she does have a large adult fanbase.  Knowing that is perhaps why I did not pick up on a "romance" between Sirius and Remus.  Especially after Tonks entered the books.
