1. Most of our in-character shipping happened sort of organically. Nothing ever really emerged for Harry. At the point when we started thinking about it, nothing really felt right.
2. As we got closer to the end of the game, it felt increasingly like writing a romance plot for Harry would feel very shoehorned-in. His primary relationships throughout the game were his friendships (which in fact is an echo of canon -- canon!Harry's romance with Ginny never has the vibrancy of his relationships with Ron and Hermione). So we focused on those.
So in a sense it was a conscious choice, because we did discuss it. But it was mostly just how the chips fell.
