I'm neither 'ship' nor beast nor fowl, but...

There's another reason why Ginny might come to assume a romantic angle for 
Harry.  She's a Weasley--part of a family that's becoming almost like his 
own.

One tack on that would be to have them eventually evolve into a sibling-like 
relationship.  Harry has no siblings of his own.  Molly seems to have taken 
him under her wing; it would stand to reason the family will always be 
close, barring some major split with one going to the camp of Voldemort and 
the other group not--but I don't think that will happen.

But, much like Lawrie in Little Women (of all things), I could see a more 
mature Harry, having gotten through his crush on Cho, maybe a coming to 
terms with Hermione that they would never do as a married couple, finally 
coming to feel that he should have always been a part of the Weasley family. 
  They all love him, it's not like he'd have a problem with in-laws.

Even today, in a world that cheers on self-absorption, a real marriage is 
about more than just the two people involved--there's family, there are 
friends, there's community.  From that perspective, Ginny (who shows no 
signs of growing up to be unpleasant to look at, either) could come to 
appeal to Harry very much indeed.

It may not sound sexy, but given the loss of his own parents, I'll bet a 
solid family is ultimately going to prove to be very important to him.
