 Her personality seems to mirror Harry's in many ways.



Just wanted to point out also that Harry had a similar issue with 
this sort of thing.  Remember when he was met by Aurors to go to 
Platform 9 3/4?  The auror grabbed his arm and was guiding him, and 
Harry pulled away and told him that he was quite capable of walking 
on his own. Compare this with Ginny having a problem with Dean 
guiding her through the portrait hole... very similar instances. 
Just another way JK mirrored H/G in HBP.
