Where in what I said did I say that Naruto loves or should love Hinata back? I never said that. I really don't understand though how some people can honestly sit down and come to a conclusion that Naruto and Hinata have no development. Are they really reading the same Manga. Did they skip the chapter when Naruto was very depressed about his fight with Neji and Hinata cheered him up? Then he said he liked people like her, which he didn't have to say but he did anyway. Did they skip the chapter when he swore on her blood which they bonded from? Did they completely skip the chapter when Naruto went 6 tails? He has never been that angry in his entire life and when he realised she was alright he shed tears. Did they also skip the chapter when naruto saves hinata and smiles at her remembering the time of the confession and telling her that she is strong from looking in her eyes? Does he have these sort of Moments with Tenten or Ino who are also on other teams? No he doesn't.One thing I can't stand from NH fans ( i think you're one of them) They just can't accept the FACT naruto doesn't love hinata, and they only see for hinata.
I am not a fan (nh-ns) but I Think the most probable pairing would be narusaku. Why?
as other guys already said, they have a huge Development in their relationship, and that "development" hinata lacks.
Ok call their "development" "relationship" whatever you want, Brother's love, friends.. anyway if you can't see nothing behind it I can't discuss to you , For me it's so obvious.
Other thing I disagree with nh fans is the fact they "swear" because hinata loves naruto, he must loves her lol i think it is a pathetic argument. Although the same could apply for naruto and sakura but NH fans almost always use that argument.
Peace i don't wanna fight xd.
Even if you use that Harry Potter arguement you're missing one huge point: the development was there. Ginny started out shy, but her screen time with Harry grew each story, by the end of the fourth book it became pretty obvious they were hooking up. You could tell they were going to pair him with a powerful witch (hints of her having great talent with hexes, she picked up his lessons in book 5 quickest, her mother showed signs of being powerful books 2-5 and in 7 it was showed). Hermonie, book smart but didn't have the natural talent Ginny had. Then Cho Chang's, flat character, main purpose was to start steering Harry Ginny's way (he asked her to the ball, but she was with longbottom *shows desired by others which is blown up in books 5-7).I am a Naru-Saku fan - for much the same reasons you listed. Moreover, I find Hinata too obsessive and suffocating, not to mention overly shy and boring (but hey I am not a guy, maybe these same attributes are attractive to males).
However I am not convinced that these are sufficient. As a counter example, take the Harry Potter story, where Ginny was portrayed very much like Hinata, and Sakura is much like Hermione (granted, neither Harry nor Ron match Naruto/Sasuke though). Harry ended up with Ginny - a boring side character, much like Hinata - and not with the lead female, hermione (Sakura)...
Well, it's not up to us. Whichever girl it will be, so long as Kishimoto makes the choice believable, I'll take it...

Naruto and Hinata don't have development because she keeps fainting. Even with the Pain arc she confessed, it was a strong moment, but Naruto was already on the edge emotionally(leaf destroyed and both sensi's killed by Pain before Kakashi was revived). When they got reunited in the war there was no hint by him he even remembered her confession(before when he went 4+ tails he lost his memory of before and after events so he might have forgotten). Unless Hinata has PNJ there's no way in hell because the groundwork isn't there/
