ahhh, but how does that old saying go?  A boy will marry his mother? 
I see a lot of Molly in Hermione and I see a lot of the relationship
in Arthur & Molly and Ron & Hermoine.  I don't think Hermione will
dominate Ron over his will.  I give a lot of credit to Ron for
standing up to his own beliefs(as Arthur does to Molly).  Ron just
choses what battles he will fight with Hermione.  It doesn't make him
weak at all.  I don't "see" Hermione "working" on Ron;  she may push
him to do better, but she doesn't expect anything that is out of Ron's
character.

I've seen the Ron & Hermione romance from CoS, when Ron tried to
defend Hermione's honor when Draco insulted her.  What do Ron &
Hermione have in common outside of Hogwarts?  Well, call me a
romantic, but it is their love for one another.  Sure, they bicker,
but a lot of happy couples bicker - for some, it is a way of "foreplay".
