When I started to read the book, I made sure I wouldn't get my hopes up because in reality I knew it would be r/hr. But I always felt that jkr would include h/hr moments in the book, it has always been more subtle than r/hr, occasional stairs and touches. I remember during the chapter ''the seven potters'' Hermione was already staring at Harry, maybe due to the amount of fear she had as they approached the dangerous task of getting Harry to the burrow, who knows?

Harry caught Hermione’s eye and looked away at once
Ron's insecurity was highlighted early in the book.

Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and giyle, Harry' said Hermione, before catching sight of Ron’s raised eyebrows''
When they arrived at grimmauld place, Ron and Hermione started becoming close again. The part when Harry woke and assumed they had been holding hands!! Obviously Harry as his own insecurities with r/hr, I think deep down he didn't want them to get together, various reasons could point to this assumption. The uncomfortable feeling of having your two best friends being romantically involved or the fact he may love Hermione himself but sees her as out of bounds.
When they arrived in the countryside, I felt Ron and Hermione would come together. Why not? Ron was acting like a child!! The feeling I always got with h/hr, was that Hermione was scared of confronting her feelings for Harry, the emotional baggage that came with knowing Harry potter was enough, let alone falling in love with Harry potter.
The chapter ''goblins revenge'' was pivotal, Ron was clearly not up to the task, he left and expected Hermione to come with him, she didn't and Ron’s insecurities heightened at this point.
My excitement during the next chapter was immense, I really believed Harry and Hermione would acknowledge there love for each other, even if it was only a soul-mate based love, I still felt that they would at least discuss there friendship more deeply and look into the reasons why Ron left.

Harry, I think it's Christmas eve!
Though not a massive shipping moment, I love that quote, it felt like a prelude to something special, they were alone, godric's hollow, it was xmas eve. Hermione was clearly sensing how he was feeling, as mentioned soon after. I was so happy reading this chapter, Hermione had seemed to forget about Ron for a while and they seemed as one. The next few pages were some of the most beautiful Harry Hermione moments, they were totally in tune with each other, physically and mentally. I was hoping for a kiss.....just one.....then she could run of into the sunset with weasly.
Ron's re-appearance was a blessing in disguise......well it could of been. I hoped that Ron would see what was going on between Harry and Hermione. The riddle/hermione-riddle/harry moment didn't really have much significance IMO, it only highlighted Ron’s already obvious insecurity. It did however give Harry the chance to maybe...make a claim to Hermione and admit his feelings for her Hermione.

'She's like my sister'
Why Harry? I would have preferred Ron to have taken this to Hermione and we would see Hermione explain her true feelings for Harry. It was always the same thought out the books, how run was feeling, never hearing Hermione’s version. It would have been excellent if the three of them acknowledged the situation.
maybe this is all some clever ruse... with all this harry jealousy going around, i'm pretty sure jk knew what she was doing when she wrote all those beautiful scenes (hermione brushing her hand over harry's head gives me killer bees 
). maybe she didn't end it the way it was SUPPOSED to end, maybe she just did so to leave the figuring out to us... maybe the end is not really the end...
