Everything you listed there - Hermione was good for Harry (as I think Harry was for Hermione), she supported him, balanced him, made him see things from a new perspective - are all reasons that I like them as a pairing.

Yes, I understand that. These are all things shippers point to as evidence of their ship, which is fine, but my point is that these things are evidence of a strong and interesting relationship that doesn't necessitate romance in order to give it validity.

I really don't see that as a point against the ship itself though. Sure, it doesn't have to be romantic to be a valid relationship, but all of those things are qualities that one could look for in a romantic relationship just as much as in a friendship. It seems like you're presenting this as a reason not to ship these two, and I don't see how that makes sense. All your argument comes down to is you see it one way, other people see it another way.

All your argument comes down to is you see it one way, other people see it another way.

Yes that's exactly my argument: that the evidence goes both ways. My comments have been mostly in reaction to the shipping argument that presents Harry/Hermione as a more valid ship than the canon ones.

I personally don't ship Harry/Hermione because I'm fine with Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron, but more than that, I like the dynamic and developed relationship that two major characters have without it treading into romance.
