war.  She didn't just pour her heart out to that diary - Riddle said 
he poured a lot back into her - maybe she knows a few things about 
young Tom Riddle that will help the gang against the Big Bad he's 
become?"
This is a fresh idea.  What has she got in the way of insight even she 
might not be aware of? and there is probably some little bond between 
her and Riddle/Voldemort, as there is between V. and Harry.

Kimberly:" I think this may be how Ginny will be playing a bigger part 
in the next book(s), and also may afford Harry the opportunity to see 
her as something more than Ron's embarrassing little sister. Hmmm - 
this no-shipping thing is hard - I'd rather like to see them develop 
at the very least a relationship of mutual respect, if not something 
special."

You and I are on the very small H/G ship, oppressed and alone, being 
pelted by pennies and beaten with clubs of ebony, and patronized 
because we think One Big Happy Weasley Family isn't such a bad thing 
after all.  It's true we haven't had much to go on, and certainly 
Ginny will have to get over her hero-worship of Harry for them to 
develop anything real. Shared experience will do a lot to resolve 
that, I hope, and then maybe we'll see something better than her being 
shipped off to a creep like Draco.
