VERY GOOD POINT, and what you wrote about Ron was right on as well. Brotherly 
comments about giving them "permission" and asking them to not snog in front of him (or 
maybe it was in public... I don't remember) don't care the same anger and lack of 
acceptance that he had with Ginny/Dean. I also  think you also touched a very important 
point comparing Harry/Cho to Harry/Ginny. Harry only felt those feelings about Cho when 
he was NEAR her. Cho was the first girl he noticed, and it was probably for her Quidditch 
skills, good looks, and perhaps even her popularity... not for how she made him feel or 
how she understood him (which she didn't).

Now, we know that Ginny is an attractive and popular girl, but it is also clear that this is 
NOT why Harry has fallen for her. He comments (in his thoughts) that he had grown 
accustomed to her being around them at the burrow and forgot that she didn't hang 
around with he, Ron, and Hermione (and I think someone else has pointed out that he 
wanted Ginny to be with him and Neville and Luna in the compartment, where with Cho he 
had wished he was with "cooler people" or something like that). When describing Harry's 
feeling for Ginny and their relationship, Ginny is described as his best source of comfort 
and the one thing that made him happier than he could remember... not as the best 
looking girl in the world or the greatest kisser or something that would imply a purely 
physical relationship. 

So, yes, Ginny IS good enough for Harry. She might be pretty and popular and talented, 
but, more importantly, she understands Harry in a way that they can communicate just in a 
look.. and cares enough about him to let him do what must be done ( which he knew she 
would accept ... which she said she even expected) while giving him the important bit of 
information that she never gave up on him... and I don't think she ever will.
