So what are people's odds that Harry manages to get Hermione off?

I don't think they're at that stage in their relationship yet, do you?

Methinks there are some places conversations about 11-year-olds don't need to go...

I'll be astounded if he manages to win outright. So the question is what he'll have to give up for his best friend's sake.

Very good point. Most of the evidence suggesting that Harry will lose Hermione is also evidence in favor of him losing something else with equal (or given the title of the sequence, greater) value.
