Could this simply be a reference to the fact that Ginny will turn out 
to be the one who 'watches out' for Harry the most.

My reasoning being she's still kind of on the sidelines, ie; not as 
involved as Ron and Hermione.  She seems to be very intuitive were 
Harry's emotions and moods are concerned, and as she had a major 
crush on him in the earlier books she probably spent a lot of time in 
the common room just observing him.

This sort of ties in with Mrs Figg setting her many, many cats to 
look out for Harry when in Privet Drive.  The much discussed quote 
(possibly not exact as no book handy) - 
"there was no one around - not EVEN a cat" (emphasis mine).

That's my thought anyway as I don't believe Our Ginny's about to 
sprout a tail or whiskers, although as she's one of my fave's and I 
like cat's I'm sure she'd be very cute...

Thanks for listening to the ramble
