If there's "much to be said for the pairing", by all means, say it. I 
just don't see the attraction of it. I'm sure it's a great pairing 
for fanfic writers who don't want Harry to be with Hermione, since 
Ginny's lack of development gives the writer a great deal of freedom 
to make her into whatever they want to, but these Ginny Sues are no 
more relevant to canon that the plethora of fanon-Dracos. We have no 
idea how Ginny will end up being developed. Thus, we have no reason 
to assume that she is or will be even remotely suitable as a match 
for Harry. I'll grant that any ship that hasn't happened in canon is 
based on speculation, but at least with ships between developed 
characters we have something more than just personal assumptions & 
fanfic portrayals to base our assumptions on.

And as somebody else (Eb, I think) already said, Harry is already a 
Weasley in all but name & hair color. Why does he need to pair up 
with Ginny to be "closer" to the family? He's plenty close as it is.
