Not sure how serious you are with that comment, but it does have some
appeal.
 
If Harry does marry Ginny then the whole Weasley family truly does
become his real family. That would be a gift greater than any wedding
gift anyone could give him. Love and family, the greates gift of all.

I think it is clear that the books are most strongly hinting at a
relationship between Ron and Hermione. Hints related to Harry and
Ginny are much more subtle, BUT it is only in the most current book
that real relationships and dating are starting to enter the picture.
Remember, when Harry and Ginny met, he was 11 and she was 10. She was
infatuated and he was oblivious. 

It's is CRYSTAL clear from book four (GoF) that neither Harry or Ron
are quite ready for dating yet. So that fact that Harry hasn't shown
any 'deeper' attraction to Ginny doesn't mean much. Now however, from
book 5 on, Harry will see Ginny in a whole new light. She is no longer
JUST Ron's little sister hiding in the shadows but a person in her own
right. A person who is strong, independant, understanding, confident,
and very attractive. 

Now that we see the real Ginny, and now that Harry actually has some
interest and experience (bad as it was) in dating, I think the
potential is there for sparks to fly. Although, I don't expect any
real connection between them to show itself until near the end of the
last book.

I think the somewhat obvious Ron/Hermione and the slightly
foreshadowed Harry/Ginny are the most likely relationship to be there
at the end of the series.

Just a few thoughts.
