I said, about Ginny:"Ginny is Molly Weasley's daughter, and she comes 
from a close-knit loving family. She's not going to be a wimp -- Molly 
sure isn't -- and  nobody's doormat, but she will love Harry with the 
kind of devotion  and passion that the quiet girls develop. (Note to 
younger male  members of this group: remember that.) She will always 
be there for  him, a healing balm, a safe harbor; and Harry will be 
good for her because he won't take her for granted."

Carole:" What exactly do you mean by "quiet girls"?  Not trying to 
sound offended (I'm not) but extremely curious. To characterize "quiet 
girls" as being ones  that will "always be there for him, a healing 
balm, a safe harbor" is a bit of an overgeneralization, don't you 
think?  Quiet women are not always passive and passive women are not 
always quiet."

Agreed. I wasn't generalizing that quiet girls will be like Ginny, who 
will always there for Harry; I *was* saying that the Ginny-esque girls 
were and are often overlooked.  It's Ginny's own family background 
that sets her apart and bodes well for her potential as a mate.  And 
Harry, being the all-around good guy that he is, will treat her right 
as well as his emotional state will allow. 

"She could be a party animal for all we know that will  take Harry's 
poor damaged heart and stomp it into the ground with her  stiletto.  I 
know...I know...not likely, but anything is possible."

THERE's an image, but we have to imagine these women based on what we 
see now, otherwise we might as well imagine Harry with the reformed 
and matured Millicent Balstrode.
