Well, yes, I think you are right. Obviously, Rowling wanted the Trio to 
be always a Trio. But speaking personally, as a reader, I would like to 
have it explained from Harry's point of view. OK, he ended their 
romantic relationship for "some stupid noble reason". But what was (is) 
the cause of her constant exclusion? You (and me) may not see the 
reason to "change the core of Trio", but it occurs to me that Harry 
might have thought of a reason or two.
