Ships Ahoy
So, as I was saying, I've come across HP things and not always known what was going on... when I first saw this image (which I think is gorgeous!) my reaction was "Do they really do that in Harry Potter? No ... do they?" Yes, I get it, Photoshop, shipping, I understand now.

The author, therefore, does have the final say of character relations. But that doesn't mean people can't manipulate them to their advantage. See: picture located above.
