Why I'm pro-H/G (was: [HPforGrownups] Ginny)

For me, Ginny and Cho represent the two ultimate archtypes for the
female sex (at least in my experience):

The "Cho Changs" are bright, gregarious, charismatic, usually
have a great sense of humor, and are of course popular.  Unfortunately,
they are also frequently somewhat shallow, flighty, and almost
always have crummy taste in men.

The "Ginnys" are shy, quiet, pensive, awkward and not popular.  They
are usually the ones possessing true courage, passion (however latent),
and strength of character, but they frequently get lost and unnoticed
(especially by boys) in the sea of extroverted "Chos".

(I apologize to all women who don't fit into one of the above... It's
  strictly a generalization based on personal experience.)

I guess I'm for Harry/Ginny because I see Harry making the same
mistake I made repeatedly in school and going for the "Chos" (and
always getting hurt by them) and brushing off the "Ginnys" who are
really worth something.  I want Harry not to repeat my fatal mistake,
and to sweep up Ginny before it's too late.
