We do know a lot more about other people in RL...actually, you know? It's probably a little of the opposite too. We *don't* know as much about real people as we do about fictional ones, and we know we don't know it and that's why we just have to deal with it when they throw us a curve ball.
I'm not sure why H/Hr or H/L would make any more sense than H/G in the long run. I mean, Hermione maybe from the pov that she's the girl he chooses to spend most of his time with, but there's no reason he ought to be attracted to Luna. Ginny's the "best" girl in the school, so her being a prize for Harry kind of does make sense. Storywise, anyway. Character-wise too, I guess, if you figure that Harry always has to have what is set up as the prize only the best guy wins? Like I said above, it comes across to me ultimately like what attracts them to each other is a shared sense of satisfaction and superiority which isn't very complimentary but probably does attract people!
