I think they're in shock Ron played well so he's the one they lift.  
Also, there's already a song about him being King, thank you to the 
Slytherins, and now they can sing it and mean it.  Really it's 
another slap in the face to the Slyths.  And of course they're used 
to Ginny doing well.  It is unfair, but I bet Ginny didn't mind.  
Probably really happy to win and have her brother (finally!) succeed.
