But Harry already is a part of the Weasley family, even if he didn't 
realize it so far. There is no doubt that Molly (and probably Arthur 
as well) loves him as much as all of their children. He doesn't need 
to marry Ginny, to become a Weasley. That said, I normally ship 
Neville with Luna. It's one of two ships I have, the other being 
Ron/Hermione. I don't really care all that much about Harry and 
especially Ginny, and therefore don't care with whom they will end 
up. But I love Neville and Luna and I think both have exactly the 
strengths to help the other overcoming their weaknesses. Though I 
must admit that's also true for Neville and Ginny, but it's just a 
matter of personal preference. :-)  

About Neville's grandmother: I mostly feel sorry for her. She had a 
hard life, having to cope with her son's fate. That can't be easy for 
a mother. Still, I feel annoyed by the way she treats Neville. She is 
belittling him constantly. She has to realise, that Neville is not 
Frank, but his own person with his own strength.
