I wouldn't say CoS was all about Ginny. She was a Plot Device and had 
less lines than Aragog, the giant spider. She served her purpose and 
made about as big an impression with her personality as Buckbeak did 
in Book 3, only she was less useful.
As for the "Harry hooks up with Ginny because there are no other 
witches" theory, well, that's a new one on me. H/G out of Total 
Desperation, eh? Just because JKR hasn't mentioned them, I can't 
imagine that there aren't just as many witches as wizards at 
Hogwarts, at least I hope so. It would be rather depressing if at the 
end of the 7th book, Harry has to marry Ginny because there just 
aren't any other females his age and he's desperate to reproduce the 
Potter genetic code.
