I think the best case that Rowling made for her canon pairings was the scene where they first encounter the Veil in the Department of Mysteries.

Harry is immediately drawn to it, of course, hearing the call of the dead. Hermione, who has repeatedly been able to resist the charm of mysticism and grounds herself in logic and rationality, insists that she can’t hear anything and that there isn’t anyone there (both of them are right, of course, in a way).

But here’s the trick: Ron doesn’t seem impacted either. He just says “I’m right here, mate.” And is able to help Hermione get their friends away. (And it isn’t the first time. Ron also demonstrated immunity to the charm of psychological magic as early as their first year when he recognized the Mirror of Erised as a dangerous influence.)

But Ginny is a different story. In front of the Veil Harry, Neville, and Luna all stand entranced. None of them is a surprise, they have all had to deal with death and lost people too soon, so one can argue it’s their loved ones they are hearing. But Ginny is also captivated and needs to be dragged away.

Why her? Well, her susceptibility to the mystic has been long established. She opens her mind and becomes possessed by Riddle in her first year. She recognizes the danger of the music box’s noise and is the one to slam it shut. It’s not a weakness, but rather a way of thinking and feeling the world and one that she has learned how to balance and control (arguably better than Harry).

So the lines become clearly drawn. Ron and Hermione, despite their differences, are both grounded in realism. Harry and Ginny are more open to the unseen, almost spiritual quality of magic and the possibilities of things beyond this world. 

In one subtle scene, Rowling proves that the best indicator of a good match is not necessarily in the obvious, outward show, but rather in the subtleties of how our minds work, how we see the world, and how compatible those mechanisms are.

Rose is open, honest, heartfelt, to the point of being selfish, wonderfully selfish. Martha is clever, calm, but rarely says what she’s thinking. Donna is blunt, precise, unfiltered, but with a big heart beneath all the banter…If Rose can be selfish, then her finest moments come when she’s selfless. If Martha keeps quiet, then her moments of revelation - like her goodbye to the Doctor in Last of the Time Lords, or stuck with Milo and Cheen in Gridlock - make her fly. Donna is magnificently self-centred - not selfish, but she pivots everything around herself, as we all do - so when she opens up and hears the Ood song, or begs for Caecillius’ family to be saved, then she’s wonderful.

Spent most of my summer vacation being anxious about med school in August and questioning my choices, like what the hell am I really getting myself into (but that's nothing new) Posting this here because I needed to let it out, and I can't post it anywhere else. This whole thing could be longer but I've too many disorganized thoughts about this, and I'm too sleepy.
