Um.  The point is not whether or not JKR *can* flesh Ginny out and 
develop her as a character and as a potential love interest for 
Harry.  I'm very, very confident that she *can.* 

The question, guys, is why *Hasn't* she done so already if it's so 
clear that Ginny is to be The Love of the Hero?!  Why leave Ginny a 
mystery?  Why not even hardly mention her in passing in the last half 
of the last book?  It just seems to me that Ginny might really just 
be a background character.  Maybe that's all there is to it.  :--)

Me:
My inbox is a bit backed up and I tried to flick through other messages under this thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating anyone here.

"Ginny does have a bigger role in Book Five." http://www.oregonlive.com/books/index.ssf?/books/00/10/al_11browl22.frame

I've also heard reference to a quote going, "Ginny Weasley will play more of a role in Book Five," from a Philadelphia Inquirer article, but it doesn't seem to be in the archives anymore.

Now, both quotes are from 2000 articles, so I guess she could've taken it out, but I've just always been assuming she /won't/ be a background character because of quotes like those.
