So this may seem really random that I'm commenting here because I haven't been on LJ in months. That would be because I usually use tumblr BUT IT HAS BEEN DOWN ALL DAY and I just lurked back here to have some kind of contact with fandom people. Anyway, I'm lobster-quadrille1 on tumblr in case you're confused, I can't remember if you follow me but anyway I'm pretty sure I follow you. So yeah.
Anyway this is an interesting perspective! I like seeing the ways other people interpret the text and it's much more intelligent when people make comments like this rather than just DIE BITCH MY SHIP IS BETTER. Yeah, the birds thing is kind of bad. That's one of the only times Hermione ever did anything that made me feel annoyed by her, because come on. However, I feel like it was in her nature? She often acts irrationally crazy when she's upset. I can't think of another example that extreme but she sort of reminds me of my own friend who can become rather... crazed, at times :P
As for that book, I barely noticed it, tbh. I just assumed it was a silly present Fred or George or someone gave Ron, and him being his clueless self he sort of took it a bit too seriously. I don't think most of the things he does for Hermione are the influence of the book, however. There's that one time he compliments her and Harry thinks it was due to the book, but he really undergoes some massive character developement in Deathly Hallows and by the end I feel he has outgrown anything like that. Their eventual hookup is a result of Ron being totally selfless like the man he has become. At least, that's how I see it.
As for Harry and Hermione - well, I sort of see Hermione as a bit of a mother figure to Harry. Epic love between them, though <3 (ps though, one of the other few times Hermione pisses me off - when she gets all annoyed about that sign in Godric's Hollow - I feel she should have got that Harry would have loved people writing all over it. It's stuff like that which makes me personally think they don't have that deeper understanding of one another. But I still love their friendship!)
