I see what you're saying but at the same time I disagree. Those are elements of their personalities, but not their entire personalities. I don't think they would be friends if it was that simple.

Hermione has a lot of empathy. She understands why Harry is frustrated a lot of the time. She's pushy when she has something she feels passionately about, like S.P.E.W. in the books, but she also supports Harry when he feels strongly about something.

Harry really respects Hermione. He goes to her for advice a lot. He asks for her help when he needs to learn something or find anything. Even when he's annoyed with Hermione, he knows she's usually getting involved because she cares.

I don't even ship it, but I think saying they could never have a healthy relationship is a bit of a stretch.

I think saying they could never have a healthy relationship is a bit of a stretch.

The secret doesn't say that.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - but +1 for reading comprehension. It's mind boggling sometimes how often people respond to a secret by arguing against a point that nobody actually made.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that much of an extrapolation from the secret tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it is. Saying that a couple is a "poor match" is not the same thing as saying they "could never have a healthy relationship". It's a significant misrepresentation of what the secret says.

[(Anonymous)]

The secret says that they're a poor match because of a fundamental conflict in their basic personalities. I honestly don't see how you get from there to a healthy relationship, which is why it doesn't seem like that much of an extrapolation.

But, like, that's the way I see it and there's probably an angle I'm missing here!

NAYRT
(anon of first comment)
That was how I saw it too, but maybe I worded it badly? I don't know.

[(Anonymous)]

I think what you're missing is that there's an important distinction to be made between "slim possibility" and "never". Two people who seem to be a poor match have a slim possibility of having a healthy relationship. That's not the same as never having a healthy relationship. The secret suggests the former, but not the latter.

[(Anonymous)]

DA - Yup, that's how it came across to me, too.

AYRT

Not in those words, but that's how I interpreted it. I didn't say that clearly I guess. I don't think interpreting it differently would be wrong either.
