Because in most simple children's books, when one nice character has a 
crush on another nice character.... you get the picture. :-) But 
looking back, Ginny strikes me rather like Laurie in Little Women!

I think you should go back and read the text. Ginny does not pursue 
the opportunity to go with Harry because she is not interested, but 
because she has promised Neville. In fact, she nearly breaks down when 
she discovers she could have gone with Harry. I think there's no doubt 
that her crush on Harry is still thriving.
