Oliver:
Well, what personality did you see from her beforehand? Did you see a 
shy personality or just one that didn't know how to deal with a huge 
crush? I'm really not sure how you could have pegged her as a "shy 
person" - except perhaps from COS. And COS reminds me of another 
point that I made earlier but that needs reiterating. *People can 
decide to change.* I truly believe that Ginny decided to make some 
changes regarding her own personality after the events of COS, 
because she really doesn't do much blushing and stammering in POA and 
GOF either - feel free to post canon to contradict this, but I'm 
pretty sure it's not there. (At least for GOF. POA I'm not too sure 
about.)

Oliver:
I realize this. I'm trying to satisfy you on it!
