I'm having a hard time thinking of evidence that would be stronger than the evidence against Hermione. Even if Harry saw her hex Malfoy with his own eyes, I wouldn't put it past him to suspect he was memory charmed. It doesn't seem like Harry is seriously considering the possibility that Hermione is actually guilty. Can you think of evidence that would cause him to raise the probability, not even to 50%, but to 5%?
And why does Harry believe in the innocence of Hermione? Take the outside view. It is the first crush of a child. Natural selection did not spit out such a thing as pure innocents.
If I remember correctly, one of the reasons Harry has a crush on her is that he's impressed by her moral good sense.
What crush? Can you link a passage that shows that EY means us to understand that Harry has a crush on anyone other than his Time Tuner and Quirrell?
What in the world are all these downvotes for?
Rabid defenders of the H.M.S. Harmony, I'd guess. Some of them thought Harry and Hermione were married in 81 in a creepy D/s ceremony.
EY has attracted them because there's a ship tease or toy ship or whatever. And because maybe he's a bit of a Harmonizer himself, as he had said he couldn't get into the later books.
The downvotes are leaking away, though. So that's something.
