While I do agree that she probably wouldn't be likely to approach her brothers about the Valentine, I'm not so sure that Ginny is a completely shy kid. According to Ron in book two, he is mystified that she's suddenly so quiet whenever Harry's around, because she's usually a chatterbox. This goes back to seeing the books mostly from Harry's POV - if she's always quiet when he's around, we're going to always see her as quiet, as opposed to how she is when around other people, which may be quite different.
