Far be it from me to dispute my own ship!  I'll take your thoughts as 
a form of evidence!  I think I'd call it more hints of the possibility 
than evidence, but I'll sure take it!  And you're right.  Ginny, at 
this point, has a better chance to be close to Harry than any girl 
besides Hermione.  He's never expressed any interest in the girls on 
his Quidditch team, and I don't think we're headed for Harry/Cho.  So 
it's more than possible for him to get closer to Ginny as a person 
independent of being Ron's sister, and with luck, he will.

You may not consider yourself a shipper, but as ours is such a 
sparsely populated ship, I'm sure we could find you quite a nice 
stateroom if you'd like to hang around!
