My question was not about the ship in itself. It was about the
*romance*. I totally agree that JKR heavily foreshadowed H/G. What I
am asking for is "show me where it says that the *romance* between
Harry and Ginny is such a great thing".

I'm still not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I'm going to make a stab.
 
I don't think you are going to see the giggly, first blooms of love type of thing you might expect from teenagers.  Harry and Ginny have been friends too long and are too comfortable with each other at this stage.  Let's face it, Harry is comfortable enough with Ginny not be to embarassed by her seeing him in his PJs.  Also, I don't see either of them to being comfortable with the Lavender/Won-Won type of relationship either.  Let's not forget that this is a children's book and we're probably not going to see much more overt than kissing.  As someone inferred at Accio, do we really think that with all the raging hormones that are teenagers at Hogwarts that no one is being physically intimate?
 
For me, a defining moment in their physical intimacy with each other was the scene where Ginny was sitting in front of Harry, leaning against his legs and discussing the tatoo.  (UK p. 500)  That's a very initimate thing to do.  We don't see that kind of physical contact/familiarity before that.  To me, it shows that they are now very comfortable touching each other, something we haven't seen before.
