Harry needs someone that he wants, not who will be best suited for him. Alright yes I admit it - it would be
great for JKR to do the relationship from the POV of what Harry wants rather than needs. BUT - doesn't that
still take us to Hermione?
What does Harry want most? Isn't it someone who will really be there for him unconditionally? No matter what
he is to the public eye, no matter how his temper may flare(a point about that after this...), no matter how
absurd something he says or thinks may be, that person has to be there for him - unconditionally. Hermione is
the only girl who can fulfil this role right now. Even when angry, Harry realises when she has a point. He has
acknowledged to himself how loyal she is to him. He has been able to talk to her in a way that he's only been
able to with Sirius - he once told her about seeing his dead father in POA. He knew he could tell her, he hasn't
done this with anyone else. Yes, Hermione is who Harry needs - but she is also the kind of girl Harry wants!
Harry's flaring temper...someone raised a point about Harry's temper in OOTP and how it seemed difficult for
Hermione to deal with him. What this person failed to put into perspective is what Harry was going through. He
was being isolated from the world around him. He felt alone, he felt betrayed. Still, Hermione stuck with him
through it! She understood what he was going through, and she never gave up on him. Isn't this very
important for a relationship?
After all that has happened in OOTP, Harry is going to need someone there for him all the time. Someone
whose life is well, Harry. This person is Hermione. Hermione would do any and everything for him. Even
through some nagging, she has always been there for him and always will be. Will it make sense for when
Harry realises who is right for him, it be Ginny who is well - Ron's sister...not much else...or Hermione, who is
always there for him, has never given up on him and who it seems even already likes him that way? Not only is
the one big happy Weasley family deal way too convenient an ending, but it is also going to be very hard to
believe, because even after her bigger role in OOTP, Ginny is going to have to become more important to Harry
than Hermione is. Ginny is going to have to become the one who is always there unconditionally for Harry, she
is going to have to become the one who will do any and everything for him, she is going to have to become the
one who he can turn to for advice and just talking to. Ginny has been built as a friend, but she is far from being
the love interest she is often made out to be. Her role and actions in the story simply has not shown her
character going this route.
Hermione has given up her study time(Hermione??) and her family time, risked her prefect badge for him and
risked her life for him. I'd say she'd do just about anything for him. She has nagged him yes, and it did annoy
him yes. But you forget that she was looking out for his well being and he realised this, and did not stay angry
with her. As for the lies, Harry has lied to everyone about various things. He does however feel guilty about it -
something not really mentioned with others, and he confide in Hermione in a way he doesn't with others. Again
I pull the example of telling of seeing his dead father.
