After the Valentine is delivered, Malfoy says to Ginney "I don't think 
Potter liked your Valentine much!" Ginny covered her face with her 
hands and ran into class. (239)
It's never directly stated that Ginny sent the Valentine, but she has 
obviously been enfatuated with Harry since the beginning of the year. 
Even though Malfoy is the one making fun of her, if she hadn't sent 
the Valentine, I think she would have had a reaction other than the 
one she did.
