of that alone.  If Ginny had part of his soul within her, how would 
LV react?  Would a combining of Harry's powers somehow with Ginny's 
lead to LV's defeat?  Or even be a small element in the dark lord's 
destruction?  We know that Snape was bonded to James because James 
saved Snape's life; and Pettigrew is bonded to Harry for the same 
reason.  So, does that not mean that Ginny is bonded to Harry for 
having saved her life in the Chamber of Secrets?  Wouldn't such a 
bond combined with Harry's LVish powers and Ginny's TR soul-sharing 
be something of value in the fight against LV?

Robin,

No need to be nervous about posting - you did beautifully.  I think 
there are some on the list who don't see Ginny as being likely to 
have any potential of the sort you mentioned, but to me your idea is 
quite reasonable.  In fact I've posted some thoughts along those 
lines in the past.  I feel that one of the reasons that Ginny hasn't 
been a major player in the stories except for CoS is so that the 
reader will discount her potential and be surprised at a later date 
to find that her encounter with Riddle was not for naught, and that 
she has either some memories/information, or residual *something* 
that will prove to be useful in the fight ahead.  I base this partly 
on my reaction to CoS after reading the first 3 books.  I felt that 
as a part of the overall narrative arc it seemed lacking, that I 
didn't learn much of significance either about Harry's past or his 
purpose or the big fight to come.  After reading just the first two 
books that didn't seem so odd, but when i read PoA I realizing that 
the books were more a continuous story serialized into several books 
than just a series of adventures tied together by characters and 
setting, and it occurred to me that CoS should have contributed more 
to the overarching storyline.  So I decided that I must just not yet 
have all the information to see where that contribution comes in.  
That's when I started getting ideas about Ginny's potential.  I don't 
think she's the key to defeating V, but she's bound to have some 
useful information or *something* as a result of several months of 
constant contact with Voldemort's younger self, otherwise, CoS 
doesn't seem to have served much overall purpose toward the 
progression of the narrative.
