DW: Ron/Fluer is simply the fact that she seems to suck the oxygen out of a room. Note that in the beginning of HBP, she had the same effect on Harry when she suddenly popped into the room. She was definitiely not attracted to Ron.
Bolding mine. I realize that Fleur isn't attracted to Ron, but since this is a Ron/Fleur venom thread ... it's a bit like Snape/Hermione ~ which I don't like either.

I wonder how many school girls said that about Bill Gates back in the early seventies and are kicking themselves every night as their "supercool" guy comes home from his job on the lube rack, kicks off his shoes, plops down in front of the TV, and demands a beer.
I know where you're heading with this Hermod, but let me say that I seriously doubt that Bill was dorky when he was a student at Hogwarts. Something tells me that he's the handsomest of the Weasley boys. This is how
I perceive Bill. I also feel that he is as handsome on the inside as he is on the outside and Fleur is one lucky woman.
I realize that people who attend their 5, 10 year or more high school reunions find that the guys and girls who were quite good looking in school, don't look so hot at the reunion.

By the same token, some of the dorkiest kids in HS may have
metamorphosed into good looking people. However, not all do, and it's this group that I place Ron into. IMO, he's
still a dork in the epilogue, and that's 19 years later!
But, as I said, it's all
my opinion based on my perception of Ron. I don't HATE Ron, like some HP fans I know, but I don't particularly find him physically attractive and I don't think he changed much over the years.
