This is a quote from the online chat transcript, Scholastic.com, 3 
February 2000:

Q:Is Harry Potter ever going to fall in love with Hermione or is he 
going to fall in love with Ginny Weasley? 
JO: In Book IV Harry does decide he likes a girl, but it's not 
Hermione or Ginny. However, he's only 14, so there's plenty of time 
for him to change his mind. ;-)  (emoticon was placed there by Jo 
herself!)

I think that the probabilities for Harry changing his mind regarding 
Ginny are great, especially after OOP. I find highly suspicious the 
stress Jo was making on Ginny's love life in OOP.  We also see 
Ginny's ex' get together with Harry's ex'. We see her taking the 
snitch right under Cho's nose
 and the final scene on the train. I 
don't know, it seems to me Jo is showing us the direction Ginny is 
taking with respect to Harry. If it happens, it won't be a big 
surprise to me and, after what I saw in the HBP prediction contest, a 
lot of people see it coming too.

We can argue that he will change his mind with respect to Hermione. 
The problem I have with it is that I don't see any big change of 
attitude from Harry with respect to Hermione. Hermione goes about him 
more like a big sister than a girlfriend
 Well, this is just my 
perception. But we also have Jo's quotes that tell us that seem to 
back up my perception:
1.	Harry and Hermione are platonic.
2.	Ron and Hermione do have something going on.
3.	Ron and Hermione have snogging potential (as opposed to Harry 
and Hermione having none)

Luna could be a good candidate too, but somehow I don't think that's 
the road Jo is taking
