New member here, joining in.  *waves*  I agree completely.  That 
scene doesn't sit right with me for a couple of reasons.  First, Hermione *completely* has a point- Harry should never have tried 
out an obviously dark curse, even on Malfoy.  The idea that Ginny 
congratulates him for having a good trick up his sleeve and 
disregards this makes her seem very cold- almost scary.  Second, Hermione was anxious and maybe a little overbearing, but she was 
never rude to Ginny.  Then Ginny just comes back with something completely uncalled for and snotty.

I've never been a Ginny fan, but I tried hard to appreciate or 
like her in this book, and it just wasn't happening (I'm sure 
other people have said it better).
