Well,  HBP comes out and it turns out that JKR DID feel a need to do 
something  more, much more and with much more clarity IMO. Was it 
because of fans'  reaction? We could only speculate, but I do think so 
that it at least  played a role.

And with Harry and Hermione, um, why would JKR  accommodate the fans 
that wanted them together ( no offense intended to  H/H shippers) if 
it is clearly turned out not to be important to her  vision.

JMO,

Interesting that you bring up the subject of shipping.  I think  book seven 
will tell us clearly whether JKR accomodates fans or quakes to  pressure.
 
I think that from book one, Rowling intended Ron and Hermione to be a  
couple.  Obviously this sub plot is not critical to the main story.   If in book 
seven they do indeed become a lasting relationship than I would say  that she 
does not quake to pressure.
 
If on the other hand, they do not become a couple or that subplot is  totally 
dropped than I will feel she has given into pressure either from the H/H  
shippers or the movie giants who don't like that pairing.  I'm not saying  that 
we will see H/H, but rather that the subject might be totally dropped and  left 
for fanfiction to argue about for decades to come.
