Me:
Look at the way Ron reacted to Hermoine at the Yule ball.  Can you 
blame Ginny for not wanting to tell him that she liked a boy.  He 
even had a fit about her going with Neville.  I can't blame her for 
not wanting him to know anything about a boy she liked.  He also made 
snide remarks about Cho.  I think Ron is very overprotective of his 
loved ones (kinda like his Mom) and no matter who any of them take a 
fancy to, he will have a problem with them.
