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.
