It's clear that Ron is in love with Hermione, if Harry were to steal
her away from him the trio would be dead. And even if he wasn't in
love with her he'd still be the odd man out; as it is Ron's the junior
member of the trio, a Harry Hermione relationship would reduce Ron to
a buffoon, nothing more than comic relief. Ron deserves better.

In fan fiction when 2 characters fall in love we readers have to
endure long sickly soliloquies where they express their undying love
for each. In contrast Rowling's characters don't talk about how much
they love each other, they show it.

Off the top of my head I can't remember anything she did that was
particularly unlikable.

Now hold on, I know I would remember it if Ginny had done anything
THAT bad! Well OK, she did lose her temper and said some mean things
to Ron, but she was provoked and had ever reason to be angry with her
brother, she did not fire the first shot , Ron did. Besides it's
traditional for brothers and sisters to have little spats.

I think the question was settled way back in book 4.
