I'm sorry not to see ESE Ginny featuring in replies to this post.
While rather young for the role, she is attractive, finds Harry
equally so, demonstrates a predatory and ruthless approach to the
hapless Michael Corner and Dean Thomas, is an accomplished liar, a
witch of some power, and of course has been possessed by Tom Riddle
(though not in the same sense as Bellatrix may have been). She also
has the name (according to some translations) of an Arthurian queen
famous for her betrayal of the hero.
Leah (who is inclined not to believe a word of this, but feels Ginny
is worth keeping an eye on)
