***** We don't know who Neville and Luna's childhood sweethearts were, only that Neville married Hannah Abbott (friends, or at least acquaintances, at school) and Luna married Rolf Scamander (never mentioned but probably at Hogwarts as well). But since every Wizard in Britain goes to Hogwarts, is this really any surprise? No wonder Purebloods are all related to each other.

**** I don't think a grand total of two couples (Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione) standing the test of time is exactly outlandish. Notably, Neville, Luna, and pretty much all their other schoolmates did ''not'' end up with their childhood sweethearts.

*** It kind of defeats the point when they ''all'' get happy marriages with people they went to school with. In the eleven years between the last book (at which point they are all seventeen) and the epilogue (at which point they are all in their thirties) NOT ONE of the five or six main-character relationships breaks up. When does that ever happen in real life, where a large group of friends all get with the person they later marry before they hit eighteen?

* In a supernatural example, one BeyondBeliefFactOrFiction segment shows us a man who has lost his wife. He soon meets a new love who looks and acts ''very'' similar too her. When ''she'' ends up dying as well, he happens upon a ''third'' love who is exactly the same. It's implied that this cycle keeps on going, and that it's the exact same woman's spirit

*** Just because Rukia looked up to ''both'' of the the Shibas doesn't mean she's forbidden of harboring a crush-like admiration for Kaien. It's just that she respected them ''and'' herself enough to not spill the beans about her possible onesided feelings for the guy. Heck, [[spoiler: Metastacia]] uses this against Rukia in the anime ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dUAToKuHt4 episode 49]]), explicitely taunting her about her onesided love for Kaien right before [[spoiler: she has to [[ShootTheDog kill him]].]].

Hermione also fills in after briefly dating Viktor Krum, Ginny/Harry after... a Yule Ball with Neville and dating two other guys (not a ''plethora'' of Hogarts males, and even if it was true, [[MyGirlIsNotASlut why is it a sin]]?). Rowling has said that she ''specifically'' wanted her main characters to not end up with the first person they kissed.
