In your explanation of this theory, you also happen to point out my biggest
complaint about it:

Harry is *already* a part of Ginny's family.  He doesn't need to marry into
the Weasley clan to make then accept him and care for him: they already do.
Are you implying that if Harry marries any other girl than Ginny, the
Weasleys won't accept him as part of their family?

I thought this was obvious: Ginny's going to follow Harry around everywhere
from now on (even when he doesn't want her to!), and be copilot to any
freighter/star cruiser/highly modified smuggling Corellian YT1300.
