Harry/Ginny shipping is not about Ginny. It hasn't ever been really 
about Ginny. How can it be when Ginny's true nature is such a recent 
revelation? 

It's about one thing.  She's a redhead he rescued from the big bad 
monster.  

phoenixgod2000, who wishes Luna could have been a redhead because 
that would actually have been interesting. 



Sherry now:

Though i love the Harry/Ginny ship, I think there is something in what you
say about the symmetry of it.  However, for my own part, I never linked
Ginny with Lily, till I started on this list and saw the comparisons.
Possibly because of being blind and not paying much attention to
descriptions of people's looks?  Obviously, I know Harry has messy black
hair and green eyes, and all the Weasleys have red hair, but it just doesn't
mean anything much to me.  i liked Ginny Weasley from book one, where she
chases after the Hogwarts Express.  In that scene, she wasn't a timid little
mouse, she was excited and cute.  Even the rescue from the big bad monster
isn't part of why I like Ginny and Harry.  i admit, I like it because i want
Harry to have a family, a big noisy loving family.  That's what he would get
in the Weasleys.  That was his heart's desire.  Now, as I've gotten to know
Ginny's character, i've come to like her very much.  i saw her character
building in all the books, except for POA, and I can't really remember her
in that book.  i was too wrapped up in guessing that Sirius Black wasn't
actually out to murder Harry!  Anyway, So I admit I have both symmetry and
my liking of the character herself to cause me to like the idea of
Ginny/Harry.
