>>Tonks: 
>Ron and Hermione are right for each other. Look at the relationship 
between Arthur and Molly. What do you see?  An example of Ron and 
Hermione 20 years from now.<

Betsy:
Ugh, you've totally put me off R/Hr, Tonks.  Another Molly and 
Arthur?   What a horrid fate for poor Ron and Hermione. I'd like to 
think that Ron ends up in a marriage where he's actually respected 
by his wife and is not forced to hide out in the garden shed.  And 
I'd like to think that Hermione will *grow out* of her bossiness and 
not continue through life thinking her way is the only way.

>>Tonks:
>Ron is attracted to Hermione because she is a strong woman like his 
mother.<

Betsy:
Molly is *not* strong.  She's the weakest member of the Weasley 
family.  She doesn't handle stress well, taking her fears out on 
those around her (OotP).  Molly also believes that ignorance is the 
best policy (PoA with Harry, OotP with Harry again, and everyone 
else), which is not a policy of strength.   Arthur has a lot more 
strength than Molly, but because he's so non-confrontational, Molly 
walks all over him, to the detriment of the family.

Betsy, who really likes Ron/Luna, though she's not sure it'll occur 
in the books.
