Ron & Hermione will never stop fighting even if JKr has them admit 
there love for each other. They are too different in their opinions
and are an example of opposites atract. Besides their debates at 
least some times are an authors device to let readers see both sides 
of an issue. 

Luna will never stop being honest just as JKR will never stop having 
her believe in mystical beasts. Besides being funny Luna is an 
example of a person who just says what she believes. She never has 
tact. 

She is shunned because not only due to her crazy beliefs but also 
due to the fact that she tells everyone what they don't want too 
hear. There are a lot of fanfics that have her as a healer but she 
would be a terrible healer because she would tell every screaming 
patient of hers every grusome detail of their injury with no detail 
sparred.  

Unf my reading of what JKR is going to do is prob kill her. She is 
one of the only 'major char' for which JKR has not celebrated a 
birthday on her website and she is one of the funny char. It is a 
common tactic of writers to kill 'funny char' in order to truly show 
horror. I expect the first few chapters of book 7 to really ramp up 
the horror, so it is poss JKR might kill Luna very early and 
dramatically. She has also shot down the Luna and Neville romance 
for poss good reason. 

If you also follow the idea that the story is also a christian 
allegory as has been proposed many times on this group recently then 
Luna as the most 'fatihful' of Harry's disciples may be the martyr 
for the cause. 

Perhaps I've started to gain a reputation as the 'kill Luna' member 
of the list, but it would be nice if someone could come up with aq 
convincing reason as to why JKR wouldn't kill her. As she is one of 
my favorites.
