A big point of the scene wasn't Ginny or even the Kiss, it was how 
Ron would
react to the ship.

So, Jo has been building this romance between the hero and his 
perfect equal partner, who's been in love with him for 5 years, and 
the point of their first kiss scene is Ron's reaction?  And that's ok 
with you?

I can kinda see the need to have "experience" in order to
fill in the gaps; however, I don't think it's necessary for readers
to have had a teenage romance in order to understand Harry and
Ginny. ... when I read the scene where
Harry comes back from detention and sees Ginny--and just kisses her
because she had that "blazing" look in her eyes/on her face, it
worked for me. Not because as a teenager, I had a romance like
that; nor because I've kissed anyone like that upon seeing a
particular "blazing" look on their face (not that I'd be against it;
I just haven't). Heck, I can't say any of my relationships have
panned out so well that I could relate it to any of the
relationships in the books--maybe I'm gifted and have a vivid
imagination.

Joj:
I married my highschool sweetheart, but I cannot picture or feel or 
care about H/G's relationship in any way.  I doesn't grate on me like 
R/H"s, it's just a big nothing.

And what exactly is this blazing look supposed to look like?

I leave with this thought: The title of the current anti-H/G thread
at fictionalley is called 'Even George Lucas is laughing at you'.
Pretty much says it all.

Joj:
Bwahaha!!  I'm definitely going to go read that!!
