Harry could be nastier to Hermione (and others) than Ron ever was. That's Harry's temper -- he loses it and he descends to horrible depths. Ginny can deal with it by telling him off or ignoring him; she's got a very thick skin. It hurts Hermione much more. Besides, Hermione and Harry's relationship is a thoroughgoing friendship with no romantic overtones, and that's what makes it so great.
Maybe Hermione should have ended up with someone she didn't know in high school, or Charlie, or no one, or Cho, but Harry's right out.
