Contrary to what might be everyone's opinion, my favorite pairing is not Snape/Lily (mostly because it isn't canon and I'm a canon kind of girl. Rowling mentioned that it *could* have happened if Snape hadn't been so interested in the Dark Arts or if Lily hadn't met James, but since neither of those occurred, I'm semi-happy just tearing up over "what could have been").
Although I'm hard pressed to think of which one it actually is.
The one that amuses me the most is Luna/Neville, which is NOT canon except for in the movies, because the fans were adamant that THAT is how they ended up (according to Rowling, Luna married Newt Scamander's son. I don't know if Neville got married, but he ended up a Hogwarts Professor). Everybody loves Neville/Luna and I do think it makes sense for them to be together -- they went through so many of the same things (lost parents, fought in Dumbledore's Army, went with Harry to the Ministry, fought in The Battle of Hogwarts, close friends of Harry, etc.). So I'm not canon about that -- I rather think the movie ending for them was perfect.
Other than that...I love Ron/Hermione. It reminds me of a lot of couples I know, and I rather think Hermione is slightly reminiscent of Mrs. Weasley.
I also think Harry/Ginny is perfect, no matter what anyone says -- Ginny and Harry were the only ones ever possessed by the Dark Lord, and Harry rescued her from that. They also went through a lot together and Ginny is tough and gutsy -- just what someone like Harry needs. He needs a partner who is brave and has a lot of nerve without being *too* intellectual (Hermione would have driven him crazy).
Those three are probably my favorites. I also adore Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Remus and Tonks.
The silliest pairing I can think of is Professor Trelawney and Hagrid. What a catastrophe. (So glad that's not canon!)
Who's in your favorite pairings? Do you ship a couple that isn't canon? Why or why not?
Remus and Tonks! I like Harry and Ginny, I just wish there had been more scenes of them doing things together besides making out and being said that they're not together. And Luna and Neville. I was disappointed when I read that that pairing wasn't in the cards. Glad it's in the movie :-).
