As I mentioned in a previous post, JKR has stated that we will see 
more of Ginny in Book 5.  Of course, in what capacity-we can only 
guess.  When you look at the women in Harry's life-only one has 
gotten a lot of attention- Hermione.  Ginny, Mrs. Weasley, even 
Harry's mother, Lily has received little or no character development 
( we know nothing about Lily's school years).  IMO, I believe Ginny's 
time is coming.  Her adventure in book 2 may have been only the 
begining.  She is, after all, a Weasley, and IMO, there is some 
powerful magic brewing in that family. Sometimes JKR's hints have to 
be taken with a grain of salt-but I think the one concerning Ginny's 
future character development can be taken seriously.
