Margaret:  I think that without the relationship with Hermione to anchor
him, Ron would have drifted out of the plot altogether -- and he's needed
there to provide a wizarding-world perspective to Harry (and the trio) to
balance Hermione's mundane-world one.  I also think it's more meaningful
for Harry to have a female *friend *(rather than, or in addition to, a love
interest), especially since he has no siblings.
