I don't think I will mind very much how all this 'shipping turns out, 
as long as Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron are happy in the end.

Interestingly, the only character willing to snarl back at Harry when 
he is in one of his "moods" is Ginny.  Everyone else, including DD, 
allow him to throw tantrums. And I don't think Harry acts on anyone's 
advice except hers.

But what I found most interesting are the suggestions that Harry is 
as oblivious about his feelings for Ginny as Ron was in GoF regarding 
Hermione. It's really hard to tell because it's all told from Harry's 
perspective, but it appears that Ron and Hermione think there is 
something going on with Harry and Ginny. There's Ron's smile and 
knowing glance at Harry on the train ride at the end of the year, and 
Hermione's knowing comment (During the possession talk they have over 
Christmas) that "perhaps you are looking at each other in turns"

The comic potential of this situation for Book 6&7 is high. 

--JKR has Hermione and Ron in love and not admitting it.

--Harry and Ginny are aware of Hermione and Ron's feeling for each 
other. 

--Conversely, H and G are in love and don't know it

--Ron and HErmione are aware of how Harry and Ginny feel.
