SHIP: Ginny Unknowingly Wearing Love Potion

I haven't posted her in years, but I can't stand for this.

Utterly preposterous.  This theory has no merit whatever.  Why wasn't 
Harry going nuts for Ginny the way Ron was for Romilda?  If it were 
love potion that caused his attraction, he'd give no consideration to 
the idea that Ginny is Ron's sister and therefore out of bounds; he'd 
just go for her.  Why does Ginny stay with Dean all that time if 
she's using uncanonical "love potion perfume" on Harry?  It's clear 
that love potions smack of scents that one (consciously or 
subconsciously) associates with romance.  Harry didn't smell the love 
potion Ginny was wearing in Potions; Harry smelled Ginny.  There's no 
room for assuming there can be a love potion perfume when there's no 
evidence for it AT ALL in canon.  Harry likes Ginny.  Both Ron and 
Hermione like that Harry likes Ginny.  Big frickin' deal.
