Why Ginny was brought along to Platform 9 3/4:

Okay, some more theories:  this is going to be the first time all of Ginny's 
brothers have been away to school and away from home.  Perhaps Molly brought 
her along with the promise of a special "just us girls" outing for a sundae 
or something afterwards.

Also, doesn't anybody else remember being a kid and not wanting to be left 
out of things?

And finally, pulling from my own childhood where I was much the youngest and 
a girl and my mother was terribly overprotective, and not usually in a nice 
way:  probably Molly was bolstering herself against her own slight empty 
nest syndrome, with all her boys gone, and wanted Ginny with her so she 
wouldn't have to return home alone.

Ginny doesn't have to be a destructive spoilt brat in order to fit in 
logically at the train station.  One of the "old-fashioned values" I think 
Rowling has put out here as part of the wizarding community is close 
families, for the most part.
