No more ridiculous than or cliched than their joining.  How anyone can 
see H/G as anything other than a bad freudian dream come true is beyond 
me.  Harry and Ginny share aboslutely no profound moments together, 
nothing that would indicate the sort of love that Harry was supposed to 
be feeling. No moments of passion, no moments of sharing or pain. for 
two people who are supposed to have a lot in common we saw very little 
of it. There is absolutely no chemistry or passion between them.  What 
real forshadowing for their relationship occured?  Do they belong 
together because it would be like lily and james returned? Is it 
because Harry saved her from the big bad monster? Those aren't reasons, 
those are the cliches that JKR should be turning on her head instead of 
embracing. It's like embarassingly bad Fan Fic the way Harry jumps into 
his feelings.  All of sudden He just wanted her without any real 
catalyst for the change in emotions. Even for teenage boys there needs 
to be a reason for the shift in perception and there wasn't one for 
Harry. I don't think it was a love potion, I think it was just poor 
writing.
