Jennifer again,
If there was anything good that came from OOP (okay, the truth, even 
the partial truth was a good thing)or maybe I should say a happy 
thing, it was Ginny's development. After seeing Ginny come into her 
own, Cho should be long forgotten. I do hope something good will grow 
between Harry and Ginny but it's awfully hard, as you mentioned, to 
squeeze in romance when the most powerful dark wizard ever is after 
you. Still, Ginny and her achievements in OOP give me a thrill.
