*Sigh*  Great points, Heidi.  Now I'm going to get very SHIPpy here.  
Can't we also say, then, that Ginny is the first girl to give Harry 
any real attention?  No one has ever had a crush on Harry before.  
While Hermione's affectionate actions towards Harry may be 
significant, as far as we know it is all in friendship.  Ginny *likes* 
Harry.
