Pippin:
First, why do you think Ginny was flying around the 
neighborhood? The Weasleys practice Quidditch in a paddock 
surrounded by trees, uphill from the Burrow, so as not to be 
seen by villagers (CoS). From that description, you couldn't see 
who was in the paddock from the Burrow itself, either. 

>From what we see of the Weasleys at home in GoF and CoS, the 
twins are often busy with their experiments, Percy spends his 
time secluded in his room, Ron would like to pretend he doesn't 
have a sister, Molly has her hands full cooking for seven and 
trying to keep the twins in line, and Arthur, when he isn't in his 
workshop, is working overtime to manage his understaffed 
department. Nobody ever pays attention to what Ginny is doing; 
for instance, that she is spending a lot of time scribbling in a 
diary that writes back.

If Ginny's flying ability had not burst upon the others as a 
surprise, she would have been available as an alternate seeker 
in  PoA. That would have removed a lot of the suspense, so I can 
see why JKR decided that Ginny needed to explain how she got 
to be such a good flyer.
