I am a Harry Hermione shipper.

I am baffled as to the reason why Jo Rowling did not explore H/Hr as a
ship?

Hermione is Harry's equal intellectually. She stands upto him. She is
not overawed by him.

Lynda:
My answer is very simple and straightforward. H/Hr is not what JKR wanted
for her story. She actually makes that quite apparent from the first book.
As for enhancing Ginny's character in the later books to make her more
palatable as a romantic interest for Harry, I disagree. Harry didn't notice
any girl before Cho Chang after all and Ginny, like the rest of the crew, is
growing up. Its quite natural that Harry would notice her when he
did. Remember, this is a boy with two best friends, one a boy and one a girl
and he never thought of her as a girl until halfway through GOF, either.
