Thank you, True. I was just going to comment on all of this unnecessary NF chatter, until I saw your post ^^
I have never, and will *never* ever accept RHr, as I will always maintain that Ron is an absolute git, and *completely* undeserving of Hermoine D:
I agree, but knew from the start that Rowling was going to pair Ron and Hermoine up. (Fit the typical trope, although Ron is more a childish jerk then the usual.) And even more undeserving and more of a creep was James Potter. It definitely doesn't make sense to me that Lilly chose James, who endlessly tormented Snape from the start and bullied her. Rowling even admits that Lilly did love Snape, and if she had chosen Snape he would have never become a Death Eater and would have actually fought against them from the start. Despite Lilly's rejection of Snape, he loved her the rest of his life, and secretly protected and ultimately gave his life to save her son Harry, despite the fact Harry looked a lot like and had some personality characteristics of James. I think Rowling missed a chance at writing a better story by pairing up Lilly with James rather than Snape. (There's some great SnapexLilly fanfic out there though, most of those avoid bashing James, surprisingly, considering how much he deserved bashing...)
Back on topic, Kishimoto has shown before that Sakura has the most prominent butt of the female characters (well, except for the newish character Karui) and her hips are if not as wide as Hinata's it's really close. There's a lot of Sakura fanservice focusing on her butt during the rescue Gaara arc.
Kishimoto draws his female characters more realistically and with more variety in shape than about any shonen mangaka I can think of. Closer to what you'd see amongst better shoujo manga artists like Yuu Watase.
