But a "crush" is still all it is. After 2 years, while she & Harry 
have indeed had ample opportunity to get to know each other better, 
there's absolutely no indication that they HAVE gotten to know each 
other better. Harry never mentions or even thinks about Ginny, so I 
doubt he's any closer to her in GoF than in CoS.
