I can understand this because I am extremely independent and have been known to 
be...ah...touchy when someone tries to help me do something that I can do perfectly 
well on my own.

I hardly think that the single moment going through the portrait hole was the reason 
ginny and dean split, It was just the thing that pushed Ginny to do what she was 
probably thinking of doing in the first place. Hermione even tells Harry that Dean and 
Ginny have been "rocky for ages". But the moment does speak of Ginny's 
independance and why I think she and Harry are so attracted to each other.

Ginny has always liked Harry, but when she was younger she was too nervous around 
him. It wasn't untill she became more confident and secure (more herself) that Harry 
began to take notice. The Ginny in HBP is far different than insecure Ginny in COS. 
Ginny is now a young lady who isn't afraid to speak her mind, who is brave, and who 
is capable. Her personality seems to mirror Harry's in many ways.
