Am I to understand out of all the sixbooks, this is the worst 
comment you could find? 

The situation as I saw it was that Hermione, as usual, was too 
engrossed in pointing out the difference between right and wrong, 
that she neglected to see Harry was already feeling bad about what 
he had done. It's one thing to say "You shouldn't have done that," 
and end there, but she kept going. I like the fact Hermione is level 
headed, and thinks before she acts, but you have to admit she does 
get carried away with her lectures.

On the other side of it, Ginny did see Harry's remorse. Taking that 
and her feelings for him into account, she snapped and said 
something she normally wouldn't have. That's understandable- how 
many times does that happen in real life? It could've been worse, 
Ginny could have called her a 'mudblood'...

PS I like BOTH Ginny and Hermione.
