The Ron comment I referred to in my earlier post was from CoS ch. 6 
(page 99 American hardcover) as Simon pointed out. But it took place 
the first day of school, sometime after lunch when Colin approached 
Harry. So it's entirely possible that Ginny had met Colin earlier 
that day, though Ron did not know it. BUT it is rather strange that 
Ron would assume Ginny did not meet Colin, if the class size is small.
