Looking back, I think JKR tried very hard to tell us in DH that H/Hr weren't going to happen:
The most
beautiful chapter in DH "Godric's Hollow" and she purposely describes them going through a 'kissing gate' twice but the two of them not actually kissing, I said to myself, "well, if she's making the scenes so romantically perfect but not letting Harry realise, then they're never going to be together in the end!"
But in my head now, I always picure-rewrite the chapter so they do kiss.
It's great
