Chancie:

Perhaps one BIG fact that you seem to have over looked, is that
we've seen how Love Potion effects people.  Look at Ron's obsession
with Romalda Vane.  He was crazed, and could not help himself.
This in NO WAY discribes Harry's reactions to Ginny.  I fully 
belive that their feelings for each other are very real as are Ron
and Hermione's.  You are of course free to think/feel/believe any
way that you wish, but it is clear the way that JKR is choosing
to take the story, and that is Ginny/Harry, and Hermione/Ron.
If you look at the cannon, I don't see how the events can play out
differently.  And as I said, I do agree that there was alot of Love Potion
talk,
but we've seen how it effects people, and even though Slughorn
said that it intensify's with time, I still think that it would still effect
the person in the same way.  Besides, if Ginny was really going 
after Harry as you say, wouldn't she have ditched Dean on the 
train when Harry asked her to find a compartment with him?  
I don't see Ginny as someone who would use a love potion, look
at her reaction to Dean always helping her.  Ginny want's some
one who will treat her as an equal, and I think that it's been shown
that a Love Potion would not return the desired effect.
