That's what really bugs me, actually--the fact that Ron still can't seem to integrate the Hermione he knows with the one he's interested in. And I happen to agree with Hermione that she shouldn't have had to chase after him--perhaps she could've indicated her interest a little more strongly, but it's not like it would've been easy for her, knowing how emotionally immature he still is and how likely he'd be to hurt her feelings in response. I really hope you're not suggesting that it's necessary to actively flirt with someone and "treat them like a girl/boy" to show that you're interested in them; maybe it is necessary for someone you don't know well, but when you've been friends with someone for years, there are subtler ways of letting them know your feelings--you shouldn't have to bat your eyes and giggle at them.
