I don't remember thinking that any of the three main characters would
ultimately fall in love with each other as of book one...but it has
been years since I read it. Now that I have read the last and the
series is complete I plan on going back to the start and rereading
them all and I am sure new things will stand out to me knowing what I
know now. I actually look forward to discovering just how very smart
JK was in the writing of her series.

But I never thought Harry & Hermione would end up together, though it
was pretty obvious as of book 2 or 3 that Ron and Hermione would end
up together, and what a great couple! I am sure they will spend their
lives being lovingly frustrated with each other!

Harry and Ginny...I didn't see that one from the start but I think it
works out great. By marrying her he becomes an official part of the
Weasley family, who have treated him like a son and brother from the
beginning.

I actually felt though, when reading DH, with all of Harry's thoughts
about Ginny, that it all seemed suddenly very intense - his feelings
for Ginny - and I don't remember feeling that intensity in book 6.
But again, I like the coupling because even though I am sure he loved
her just for her, I think it adds that she's the sister of his best
friend and the daughter of the two people who are the closest thing
he's known to real parents.

For me, who was very happy with Harry's happy ending, I thought it
was well deserved, it is now very easy to envision the orginal trio
of heroes being friends, and family, for the rest of their lives.
