I would never say that Luna is just meant to be a passing romance for 
anyone. She is such a strong spiritual character that I think her 
primary role will be as a countervoice to hermione and as an advisor 
to Harry.  That doesn't mean she can't have a secondary role as a 
love interest for either Ron or Harry.

You are right about Ron not showing any interest in her in OOTP, but 
that could change.  And lets face it.  For a guy, dating a girl you 
know is attracted to you is quite an ego boost regardless of whether 
or not you are as attracted to her. Guys find sure things 
comforting.  We can be fragile like that :)  I think dating Luna 
could be invaluable experience for Ron before he moves on to Hermione 
which I think is going to be his primary ship. and like someone else 
said, it could light a fire under hermione as well and force her to 
see that she isn't Ron's only option.

besides Ron and Luna would be histerically funny together.

I don't know about that. I always thought there seemed to be an 
undercurrent of serenity that Harry got off of Luna. For me, I think 
he found her comforting.  she had reached a peace within herself that 
he hasn't found yet. she is comfortable in her own skin and I think 
she is going to help harry become comfortable in his.
