Now how do we know that Ginny is going to mimic her mothers qualities 
and not rebel against them?  If I were Ginny I'd feel a bit 
overprotected and a bit suffocated in the womb of my family.  Some 
people take to it and some people rebel against it.  I think it's too 
early in the series as far as Ginny's development goes to guess which 
way she will head.
