Funny, I was not at all surprised by Ginny in OOTP.  Am I the only 
one who did see it coming?  In each book, except POA I think, she's 
become a little more of a character, a little more interesting and 
having a little more personality.  I just started reading GOF again, 
and actually paid attention to the scene when Harry arrives at the 
burrow, and he, Ron, Hermione *and* Ginny all go upstairs to avoid 
the wrath of Molly and the twins.  Before the
events in COS, Ginny would have been too shy to go socialize around 
Harry.
It seemed like a natural maturing on her part, her trauma in the 
chamber wiping away the school girl in some ways forever.  I can't 
quote canon here, but Ginny seems to me to be coming out of her 
shell throughout GOF, and her blossoming in OOTP wasn't at all a 
surprise to me.


**Marcela:
I would agree with you, if only Jo had had Ginny's character 
included in the following scenes at the World Cup... there, Jo had 
her falling asleep and spilling her chocolate drink while the rest 
was still chatting over the Final game... I mean, her 
characterization is that of a little girl, not one of a girl only 
one year younger than Ron and Harry!
Also, during the match Ginny was not included with the Trio, she was 
only mentioned being consoled by Bill when the Irish Seeker got 
hurt... again, in tune with the "little sister" image...  Jo could 
have effortlessly included her, even if only by name and not 
dialogue, but she didn't.
