Then we get to the great battle in the DoM. Somehow by pure
coincidence (yeah right) Harry goes one direction with Hermione and
Neville, while Ron and Ginny run the other direction with Luna. So
again we get to read a detailed description of Hermione's courage and
resourcefulness (I don't even bother to count how many times she and
Harry save each other's life) as well as her noble conduct ("you
can't hurt a baby!"). Then Hermione is injured and Harry is frantic.
Don't let her be dead! And what were Ron, Ginny and Luna doing during
all that time? Well, they were apparently doing a lot, fighting
several DEs and getting hurt and probably saving each other's lives
several times over, but WE DON'T GET TO SEE IT. All we get is Luna's
sketchy report. Turns out they were fighting the DEs in zero gravity,
in the dark, in a giant moving model of the solar system. Wow! This
could have been the grandest action scene in OotP, and what do we
ever hear about it?

I have some predictions to book 6 and 7 based on your post.
Ginny will become Prefect. If I remember correctly being a Prefect 
has its definite advantages.  You can roam around the castle without 
teachers asking you what you are doing because maintaining order and 
security is part of your job. 

Fred and George will somehow get to open their joke shop at the 
Honeydukes location (Honeydukes owners will move or retire). Or 
someone else in the Order (hopefully not a DE) will open up shop 
there. This will give the new tenants access to Hogwarts.
 
Ron and Ginny will start to do behind the scenes work for the Order. 
The other HP characters will be unaware of their work, but JKR's 
readers will finally get to see them in action.
