I really wasn't saying anything about shipping with this. I was just exploring the 
implications of some new information: Ginny's full name.

I have said I'm happy to think of Harry with any of the likely suspects--or even with some 
one else, or even with no one, so long as JKR doesn't try to pretend that eros isn't at the 
center of most teen relationships, one way or another. In other words, I'm not really a 
shipper. Having said that, I think you're being quite hard on Ginny... er, Ginevra. She's one 
of the more interesting secondary characters, and has grown more so as the series has 
progressed.
