>> Ron/Hermione is a bigger problem.  I think many people are simply 
anti-R/Hr. The two just seem like oil and water to even those of us  
who saw the anvils.  I still keep asking myself why these two people 
would even want to be a couple.  They are both guilty of doing and 
saying very hurtful things to the other and seem to have nothing, 
other than Harry, in common.  I wish Rowling would explain why they 
are attracted to each other. <<

Kellie now:
See, from the beginning, I suspected that Ron and Hermione might 
become a couple, and part of the reason I thought so was because they 
fight with each other.  Sometimes, when two people fight, it is to 
deny feelings. *smiles* Also, often they say opposites attract.  And, 
in this case, it seems to be true.

>> It would be a copout by JKR, but I think her best solution, in 
what will already be a packed book, is just to forget relationships 
entirely. Everybody says that it isn't an important part of the 
story.  If that be the case, then just leave everything as it ended 
in HBP.  Just imagine if she did that. People could argue for the 
next century about it and HP fanfiction would never die. <<

Kellie again:
Relationships and all, is not the main part of the story, but in a 
way, it is important in its own way.  It may not have anything to do 
with LV. I think though, you need some side stories going on in order 
not to have everything happen to fast.  I can't explain it like I 
want to, but I think it adds to the story line. *smiles* JMO.
