The initial reaction of Lavender and Ron makes sense- they are both from Wizarding families, so they  automatically understand each other in so many ways because of their cultural similiarities. Ron's conflict with Hermione I think also comes from difference in their upbringing, and I think that is why many  readers might have paired Harry with Hermione.

Carol responds:
One slight problem with this reasoning: Don't we learn somewhere that Lavender is Muggle-born? For one thing, a baby rabbit seems like an unusual pet for a kid from a Wizarding family. They usually have cats, owls, or toads (judging from the letter Harry receives from the school in SS/PS).
