Harry and Hermione
From Emerson and Melissa's interview with JK Rowling on July 17th, 2005:
ES: Harry/Hermione shippers - delusional!
JKR: Well no, I'm not going to - Emerson, I am not going to say they're delusional! They are still valued members of my readership! I am not going to use the word delusional. I am, however, going to say — now I am trusting both of you to do the spoiler thing when you write this up. I will say, that yes, I personally feel - well it's going to be clear once people have read Book 6. I mean, that's it. It's done, isn't it? We know. Yes, we do now know that it's Ron and Hermione. I do feel that I have dropped heavy hints.
Ron and Hermione
After reading Half-Blood Prince, I'm sure most of you will agree that Ron and Hermione will eventually hook up. Although they never did anything in Book 6 to indicate they're now officially an item, we know this is due to the massive and more important events taking place elsewhere (like Dumbledore's death). I'm sure we'll see these two properly confess their longings in the next book. After what happened in the penultimate novel (Ron's jealousy of Hermione's apparent dating Cormac McLaggen and Hermione's of Ron and Lavender's relationship), this pairing is a sure thing. Plus JKR said so in her interview with MuggleNet/TLC.
Harry and Ginny
At Dumbledore's funeral in HBP, Harry told Ginny they could no longer be together.
"Ginny, listen.... I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together." (HBP, pg. 646)
He explains that if Voldemort discovers Harry and Ginny are an item, she may be in danger. Ginny protests saying she doesn't care, but Harry refuses to let another loved one die at the hands of Voldemort. There is a small possibility that their relationship may rekindle in Book 7, but I seriously doubt it. Harry has bigger things to do.
Draco and Pansy
A likely couple... pre-Book 6. Since Prisoner of Azkaban, the pair have been almost joined at the hip. For example, when Buckbeak bites Draco in Book 3, we see Pansy absolutely devastated. We also see hints of a relationship in Book 6:
Malfoy, sniggering, lay back down across two seats with his head in Pansy Parkinson's lap. Harry lay curled uncomfortably under the cloak to ensure that every inch of him remained hidden, and watched Pansy stoke the sleek blond hair off Malfoy's forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place.
Pansy clearly likes (if not loves) Malfoy and looks up to him, but I can't say the same about Malfoy. He enjoys Pansy's company but only because she fawns over him and gives him royal treatment. Besides, even if he did like her, he's too busy with other things - just like Harry is too busy with his Horcrux quest to stay in a relationship with Ginny.
Hermione and McLaggen
It's obvious Hermione went to Slughorn's party with Cormac just to make Ron jealous. Not gonna happen.
Won-Won and Lavender
Again, just Ron trying to make Hermione jealous. That relationship is over.
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour
These two are engaged and have a wedding planned for the opening summer in Book 7, so unless something goes seriously wrong, these two are sticking together.
Hagrid and Maxime
We actually didn't see much of these two together in Book 6, but our bet is they're still "close," and who knows how their relationship will develop in the seventh book.
Ginny and Neville
It's a longshot, but as Ginny is now Harry-free, she might take more of an interest in Neville. They've always been close - even if Ginny is friends with him partly out of pity.
Luna and Neville
Although we haven't seen much interaction between these two, there have been a few times of note where the pair have worked together: Department of Mysteries battle, the Death Eaters/Order fight following Dumbledore's death, and Dumbledore's funeral. Luna and Neville also have something in common - the "loss" of a loved one. Luna's mother died when she was young, and Neville's parents barely recognise him. Also, the two are hardly the most popular kids at Hogwarts. Perhpaps, they'll comfort each other in the dark times expected in Book 7?
Edit: Nope. JK crashed this one.
Tonks and Lupin
We see from the hospital wing scene at the end of HBP that Nymphadora and Remus do have feelings for each other. It's because Lupin is pulling away due to his lycanthropy that is hindering the development of the relationship. But we think he'll come to his senses eventually, in a time where it's most important to keep loved ones close.
