[HPforGrownups] Ginny Weasley was Re: Book 5 predictions

Something that's started worrying me as I catch up with these posts - people are saying something major will die, someone that will half-crucify JKR to kill off. Then when asked if Harry will notice Ginny, she says something like 'you'll see, poor Ginny, eh'. Perhaps Harry might / might not notice her and fall in love etc, but then she'll be the one to die, leaving Harry even more devastated by the death of his first girlfriend!! Eek!

Jo, if you do lurk on these lists, please don't do that to Ginny!!!

Lucy, now rather worried about poor little Ginny

      Can't resist jumping on this, even though I'm on my way to 
  Ireland  today and you all will have to do without my stellar 
  commentary for about 12 days or so...
      IMO, the best bit of evidence for H/G is structural. Ginny is the 
  first eligible girl that Harry sees. Just as displaying a gun in the 
  first act requires a duel in the third, the first girl the hero sees at 
  the beginning of his adventures will be the one for him...unless 
  she turns out to be his sister or something, which seems 
  unlikely in this case. 
     The lack of character development so far is part of the pattern. 
  Ginny, IMO, is like the girl-next-door. Harry and the reader must 
  be led to discount her, until some turn of events farther along in 
  the story changes Harry's mind.
