Richard:

I think the "domestic" or to use a better word "caregiver" Ginny is purposeful and significant.  
Of course Ginny wants to snog Harry, but she also really cares about him.  And in that family with seven men, who is the only woman around to teach her how to treat someone she "loves" - Molly the quintessential caregiver.  Book Ginny would never tie anyone elses shoelaces, but I can believe her doing exactly something like that for Harry.  
Oh, and don't forget the bloody nose scene in the Great Hall.  That is another one in the sequence of Ginny tending to Harry scenes.
