Personally, I'm a Ron/Hermione shipper. I think we can all agree they're probably going to get together, it's more a matter of when and how long they'll stay together. I know a lot of people who aren't R/Hr shippers use their arguing as a reason for why they're not suited. However, I don't think arguing is a bad thing at all. I read an editorial that mentioned how Hermione is generally an argumentative person. I think this is true; if you notice, she does like to start debates with other characters (she's done so with Percy and Hagrid, and other characters). Now, as someone who likes to argue myself, I can understand that there is something enjoyable about arguing, and I'm sure Hermione probably feels that way. And arguing isn't always full of resentment; there are plenty of older couples that argue regularly but still love (and like) each other fine. Anyway, I don't feel like going too much into R/Hr (A little too late, I know ^^; wink , because I'm sure most of us have heard it before.
My other main ship is Neville/Ginny. Weird, I know, but I think it's possible. I think Neville likes Ginny; in the chapter "Out of the Fire" in OotP, when everyone's captured by the Inquisatorial Squad, one of the IS says, "'That one,' he poked a thick finger at Neville, 'tried to stop me taking her,' he pointed at Ginny" (742)... JKR's use of italics emphasizes that it was Neville trying to save Ginny. I think Ginny would be good for Neville. Not only does she inspire him to be a lot bolder, as that aforementioned example also shows, but she doesn't put up with his low self-esteem (unlike everyone else, who accept/ignore it), as can be seen on the train to Hogwarts:
Quote:
"And I don't know who you are."
"I'm nobody," said Neville hurriedly.
"No, you're not," said Ginny sharply.
"I'm nobody," said Neville hurriedly.
"No, you're not," said Ginny sharply.

Ginny would definitely help Neville get over his self-esteem problem. Plus I'd think they'd be cute together, a kind of opposites attract-type thing. biggrin
