My  oldest sister had nothing I wanted and my next oldest sister could

missing  fingers if I touched her stuff.  I'm sure the Weasley 
brothers were  just as protective of their brooms, but if Ron had one 
to practice on, why  wouldn't Ginny?  And if she did "borrow" one, 
when did she?  At  night?  There were so many siblings it's difficult 
to imagine her  using one unseen.  I just wish JKR hadn't mentioned 
the secret flying  at all.

Ok, Ginny is the ONLY girl in her family for generations and 
she's the BABY!  Being that she was "lucky" (please note the 
sarcasim!) enough to be blesed with that postition in the family
she is/was very sheltered, and protected by all her brothers.
Just look at Ron's reaction to her dating if you need canon to 
back that up!  I being the oldest child on my mothers side got 
away with nothing!  I actually even remember once getting in 
trouble because my little brother, and of my cousins were 
playing with matches in the house while I was outside playing
dolls with my other 2 cousins. (I was only 7, so it wasn't like I 
was babysitting or put in charge of anything.  And also if your 
wondering where the adults were my mom, aunt, and dad were 
get food for a bbq, and my uncle was feeding his dogs down the 
hill).  My point is, when you are the older sibling/family member, 
parents tend to look at you for help in keeping the younger ones 
safe whether it's fair or not, it's the truth.  Mrs. Weasley is a VERY 
protective mother, and I could definatly see her going on a rampage 
had Ginny asked the twins for the use of their brooms, and them 
giving it to her, and her ending up hurt.  That's definatly a day  I 
wouldn't like to be in the Burrow! Also, the WW is very traditional, 
it wouldn't be hard for me to see them having an old look on things 
like girls should play with dolls, not brooms. Again I'm not saying 
it's fair, but it's how things work.
 
Just a thought.
 
Chancie~who remembers last year when she and her hubby 
out they were going to have a baby girl, and the first  words
out of his mouth were, "She's not dating 'til she's 80!!". And 
knows that wouldn't have been his words had she been a  boy!
