Now me"
Harry said if only he could have asked her 'sooner', which means 
they could have had years together starting from the past to the 
present, not starting in the present into the future. Harry was 
never obssessed with Cho, he was infatuated by her. His feelings for 
Cho were based mostly on her looks, there was no depth to their 
relationship.

Me:
How about the fact she stood by him, when she basically didn't have 
to? She fought side by side with him at the MoM. She stands up for 
him to one of his best friends. Has cared about him for six years 
and is willing to let him go when need be whithtout a moment's 
hesitation. Sure her feelings for him maay have started out as being 
shallow, since she didn't know him at all. But, she grew to know 
him, having spent more time with him (offscreen or not) than anyone 
other than Ron and Hermione. Remember all the summers and Christmas 
braks he's spent at the Burrow? In HBP Harry spends most of his time 
during the summer with Ron, Hermione and Ginny at the Burrow, giving 
him plenty of opportunity to know Ginny better.

Me:
Forced how? Is it unnatural to spend years around someone and not 
realize what xactly they mean to you until i's either too late or 
until something in your brain or heart just pops? And seeing as 
Harry didn't realize his feelings for Ginny until he got to 
Hogwarts, it would've been pretty difficult for us to see him fall 
for her at the Burrow.

Me:

There's nothing wrong with speculating. I don't think any of us will 
argue with the fact that Harry is fighting against dealing with 
Sirius's death. He was also fighting his feelings for Ginny? Why? 
Because she's Ron's sister and Harry thought Ron would not approve. 

Am I wrong in saying Ron is one of the few people who know Harry 
very well? Now tell me- if Ron thought for a second that Harry's 
feelings for his sister weren't genuine, wouldn't he be upset about 
their relationship? You see how he reacted towards Ginny and Dean, 
why wouldn't he react the same way towards Harry and Ginny? We've 
all seen how protective Ron is of his sister, and how he has no 
problem telling off Harry when he thinks he's wrong, so I doubt he'd 
let their ship go any further if he didn't think it was for real.

Plus, if Ginny is good enough for Harry, why shouldn't she be good 
enough for us?
