It didn't annoy me. I was glad to see more of her. She has clearly 
been deeply involved in previous plots without appearing to until 
the end (CoS). She has never appeared to be bad at everything, so 
why would JKR need to show why she's good? With that many brothers 
to learn from, she's bound to have had some sort of head start. We 
never had an explanation as to why Bill and Charlie were good enough 
to be head boys. I'm guessing they just had the brains and aptitude.

I think it's possible that Ginny needed to be brought more to the 
front because I think that she's going to be seen to be far more 
actively involved in future books. We already see her determined to 
do something positive in joining DA. JKR already said that some 
things in CoS foreshadow some things which will happen in HBP. Seems 
to stand to reason that Ginny will be involved.

Just my opinion of course!
