Inish Alley for a theory like this, but I couldn't find anything
about the valentine (If someone else knows of one, please let me
know). I ran it by Nicole, my acronym beta reader :), and she gave
me her thumbs up, so here goes...

I found fan-fic while waiting for book 5 and have read in numerous
fics (I don't even remember which ones, too many to research at the
moment, but suffice it to say that it is not my original idea) that
say that Fred and George sent the valentine, and that made a whole
lot of sense to me.

Well, I reread part of PoA today, and I found this:
"...and Ginny Weasley, blushing furiously, turned up with a get-well
card she had made herself, which sang shrilly unless Harry kept it
under his bowl of fruit" (PoA pg. 183, US Paperback).
Now, I'm taking this to mean that she sent the Valentine card, if
she's giving him the get-well card as well. Especially since the get-
well card sings, and the Valentine card was a singing one.
Of course, one could argue that she figured, "What the hell, I've
already been embarassed awhen people thought I sent him the
Valentine, why not go ahead and give him the get-well card?"
-Acire, who is ever so happy to have her canon again, and promises
to never leave it behind again.
