Oh shit – TOTALLY. While chess is not my forté, I'd venture to say they could be opposite queens on the board. Hermione, if I recall from PS, is a Rook.
People have been shipping them since OotP, I say 'Good catch'!
Oooh, I can see it now – "Checkmate, BITCH!" :D
But seriously...the way Rowling writes them, these women are pawns more than anything else. They are used by the men in charge, act on behalf of the men in charge, and then discarded by the men in charge when they are no longer useful. The way Bellatrix is hoodwinked by Narcissa and Severus in this chapter (IMO) is rather sad, considering how much she's given up for her Voldemort's cause over the years. And I can't help but wonder if Harry's "So long, thanks for all the...fish, I'm taking my real friends with me" speech to Ginny at the end may well reflect a similar disinchantment between Voldemort and Bella. Voldemort/Tom and Harry do reflect each other, and have throughout the series.
