Sorry for posting twice in the same thread, but I wanted to respond to 
the following little bit:

Luna:
I agree with most of what you said, but I it is unfair to say that Jo
didn't show Ginny or Ginny growing into Harry's equal.

Now me:
I understand all these moments Luna, but I still can't get past the 
fact that these small moments were spread out over 5 books and 
interspersed with larger, more significant, deeper moments with other 
girls in Harry's periphery - namely Hermione and Luna - both of whom 
had very similar moments (and Hermione more of them) with Harry. And 
this is my *big* problem with H/G. Foreshadowing? Sure. But only really 
in hindsight. For it to gel, it has to be unique and I'm sorry, but it 
just wasn't.

JMO. :)
