I used to be anti a Draco pairing with anyone, but Fiction Alley has convrted[sic] me to a Harry/Draco fan and hate to see H/Hr and H/G pairings.

This news group certainly seemed to filled with a lot of R/Hr people. As I am a H/Hr person and I believe that Hermione and Harry have this subtle thing that's being[sic] built up since the very beginning, I will elaborate on my personal beliefs.

Those H/Hr shippers just won't go away, will they?.

This is from Mugglenet "Wall of Fame", from the members of a H/Hr shippers forum after the Mugglenet/Leaky/JKR interview.

Yes, Ron would have been the only available culmination of the Cedric-Sirius-Dumbledore arc of deaths ever closer to Harry, and removed the intolerable obstacle to Harry and Hermione broomsticking off together into the sunset after his funeral... (cue "H/Hr shipper who will never be satisfied" snark from Ron Hunter).

I can't help but suspect it's either some sort of passive-aggressive moralistic reaction or thinly disguised sour grapes on the part of die-hard H/Hr shippers.
