Lynda:<br>
I think that Harry and Ginny are the right match. As far as Hermione and<br>
Ron that works too. I'm not a great fan of people marrying people who are<br>
too much like themselves. Way too boring that way. Got to have some<br>
differences.<br></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>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 <em>friend </em>(rather than, or in addition to, a love interest), especially since he has no siblings.</div>
