SHIP Hermione fancies Ron

Howdy all.  I've been rereading HBP and thinking about all the what Jo 
calls "anvil-sized clues" she's put into all the books about Ron and 
Hermione liking each other romantically.  Yes, I get it.  I understand why 
he would like her, but I just don't understand why SHE likes HIM.  I mean, 
it's obvious that she -does- even though she says he has "the emotional 
range of a teaspoon", he's not very quick, he has a fast temper.  To me, 
the Harry/Hermione ship actually makes more sense -- not that I'm on it!  
So, does anyone know what Hermione sees in Ron?
