How old are these people?  They sound like they're about 10 (my apologies to 
any 10 year olds out there).

'Anvil-sized hints' ??!! Where?  Did we read the same book?  I've seen 
nothing in any of the books that's an anvil-sized hint for R/H.

Thanks, Catherine.  I can live with G/H, since I rather like Ginny (she was 
one of the best things about OotP, IMO, along with Neville).

I'm thinking a whole lot less of JK right now.  Seems to me that she stooped 
to their level, and IMO, that ain't cool.

Parker, haven't finished the book yet, but I've read ahead ;)
