 Prep0strus:

That may be so, but one doesn't supplant the other.  I'm not saying
that there are no teenagers so not in control they couldn't make
choices - they didn't have to be 'doing it' - but to actually not show
physical affection?  Harry might wind up being super jealous (because
they had each other, not because he wants Hermione), but I can't
believe they didn't sleep in the same bed.  People of any age, out
with the person they care for... the fear and anxiety would make them
all the more likely to want to hold tight to each other - and i'm sure
go a little further, however far their morals allow.

But, this is HP for GU... and her stories are HP for Everyone.  It
isn't as though she even really addressed the issue, because it would
be too difficult to address - and I think more difficult to believe
than the magic spells.  I don't judge Ron & Hermione for it - but I do
believe that they were a little more intimate than JKR could express.
 And I feel bad for Harry that he was more alone.
