I think that you've got it, exactly, that it's because they make it work, which, in a way, is what makes them make sense.
I really loved it. I loved how you highlited their differences. I loved how you made up Hermione's "ideal boyfriend" who would make SPEW badges with her and hang out in the library. But how that doesn't matter to her, because it's so clearly Harry that she wants.
As a side note, I think the "Hero Gets the Girl" is my least favourite argument. I hate the idea of Hermione being brought down to the level of being "the girl." She's his equal. It's not about him winning her because he's the hero, but because she's the only one that can stand beside him as his partner.

And here I go, rambling again...
