might cost him his life--he really needs her more as a coach 
than a confidante at this point. That's the one edge Ginny has.

I do not see Hermione 'trying to improve him', why would she want to? 
I was under the impression that she already thinks very highly of him 
(You're a Great Wizard Harry!).  Hermione is also more than just 
a 'coach'.  Of the three of them, *she* seems to be the most prudent 
and her 'advice' tends to be more cautionary than, say, Ron's, but it 
is usually *good* advice whether or not he actually 'takes it'.  I 
don't see Ginny having any kind of edge.  Why would Harry all of the 
sudden turn to her for his confidences when Ron and Hermione know 
more of his 'story'?
