He's a genius!  But he is a bit mad, yes.
And so this isn't just a 'what he said' kind of post, let me just add 
that Ginny's also got an advantage in that she doesn't and hasn't 
mothered Harry quite as much as Hermione has.  Hermione's friendship 
has been very good for Harry, but she has tended to nag in the past.
