I'd expect something a bit meatier.

What, after all, did Ginny do?
Open the Chamber, strangle a couple of chickens and write on the
wall a couple of times, guided the Basilisk to a few victims, none of 
whom died or suffered more than temporary inconvenience, not even
Ginny.

For a supposedly force for evil, it all seems a bit, well, transient. 
As you stated originally, the villains do leave a lot to be desired.
