Reading by JK Rowling at Radio City - Spoilers Within (SHIP)

 I'm starting to believe we can argue to the point of silliness about *anything* ;-)
 
If JKR is ridiculing the *concept* of a H/H ship, then she is wrong, because
it is true that anything could potentially happen (Ron dies, etc) and some of
those things might well lead to an H/H ship. But what I really think she is 
"ridiculing" is a H/H ship in *canon*, which she has already said more than once
is NOT going to happen. Though I don't know that I'd call it ridiculing. From her
perspective she may be wondering why she has to keep addressing a subject
she unequivocally answered more than once now. Maybe she's frustrated ;-)
 
As for whether most high school relationships last the test of time, no they 
don't. But that fact is totally IRRELEVANT, because we're only talking about
this one--R/H--and it IS going to last. 
 
And while JKR has changed some things during the course of writing the books,
including changing who will die and who won't, she seems to be saying she is
*not* going to change R/H. So I'd hesitate to accuse her of being certain of 
something she can't know for sure, when she most certainly CAN know for sure!
She's writing it, after all.
