Ginny might qualify as a fan, under that definition. Harry cares about 
her, but she's not really a friend, and she adores him. On the other 
hand, she's already had her chance to die and survived. She might be 
safe, now.

Dictionary.com defines a fan as "An ardent devotee; an enthusiast." and 
as short for fanatic. It may be JKR intended only the strict definition, 
ignoring the 'screaming multitudes' connotation of the word. There are 
quite a few characters who could be considered an ardent devotee of 
Harry's. For many of them, he'd be their fan as well.
