Hang on, I really don't think that we "all" agree that Hermione is 
the heroine of the books at all.  Personally, I think she's very much 
in the brainy, female, big-sisterish, side-kick role along with Ron 
who's Harry's virtual brother.  Given the fact that Harry seems to 
prefer hanging out with Ron to being with Hermione on her own, I 
don't think she fits into the role of heroine in Harry's eyes either.

As for Ginny taking up with Neville, gosh I sure hope not.  She'd eat 
that poor boy alive ;).
