The part about Harry eating some of the egg, then Ginny eats 
some too, really struck a chord with me too! It almost seemed a 
bit sensual (but I am a H/G shipper). Although, eggs can be a 
symbol of fertility, so maybe Harry & Ginny have a romantic 
future. Also, the snitch and romance was mentioned as a link to 
romance-- Harry's easter egg was decorated with snitch's!
