Thanks for the links Pat. You certainly have an interesting theory,
I'll give you that. There are just too many holes though as far as I
can see.

Your main premise, correct me if I'm wrong, seems to be that Ginny is
knowingly or unknowingly wearing love potion perfume to attract the
attention of the opposite sex. So for Harry, the perfume only works
when Ginny is in/or has been recently in close proximity. In this way,
it is different from the love potion that one ingests. The ingestee
would not need to be in proximity for the potion to take effect - ie
Ron eating Romilda's tainted Chocolate.

I have only one example so far, but I'm sure I can come up with more.
Our first hint that Harry might be feeling attracted to Ginny is in
Chap 7, The Slug Club. He asks Ginny to sit with him on the train and
feels a "strange twinge of annoyance" when she tells him she's going
to sit with Dean. Now either Harry is feeling a bit jealous of Dean or
this is the first example of Ginny's LP perfume taking effect. The
problem is only minutes later, Ginny and Harry are once again in close
proximity in Slughorn's train compartment and Harry shows no sign of
being 'oddly attracted' to Ginny. In fact, Ginny is surrounded by five
boys, and none of them show any signs of giving her any more attention
than would be expected. Surely if she were wearing LP perfume we
should expect to see some sort of odd behavior from the boys but we
don't. In fact when Harry and Ginny are talking after leaving
Slughorn, Harry's thoughts are almost completely focused on Draco and
finding out more about his mysterious activities. Not the behavior of
a boy one would expect to see when in such close proximity to LP
perfume, if you ask me.
