Ginny VS Harry

I find all this Ginny/JKR bashing really interesting.  I was really 
hoping that Harry and Ginny would get together so was thrilled but 
not surprised when it happened.  JKR certainly left subtle clues 
throughout the books but clues none the less.  You just have to know 
where to look for them.  

>From my observation of the books these clues were:

PS/SS -: Ginny and the Hogwarts Express.  There was no reason for 
Harry to notice her if it wasn't going to be significant later.

CS -: Ginny overcoming her crush to stand up to Malfoy clearly 
demonstrated that even then, she understood Harry "...he didn't want 
that".

PoA -: Platform 9 3/4, a connection is made whilst laughing at 
Percy.  The first sign of a shared sense of humour.

GoF -: At the Yule Ball Harry notices Ginny dancing with Neville and 
is watching closely enough to notice that she is wincing as Neville 
steps on her toes.

OoP -: Here there are a lot of big clues (firelight reflecting in 
Ginny's eyes, the possession reminder, chocolate in the library etc) 
but also some really clever ones.  Eg, after Cho walks in on the 
train carriage Harry wishes that she had found him laughing with 
cool people and not with Luna and Neville.  Ginny is not included in 
this even though she too is in the carriage.  When they arrive in 
the Great Hall it is noted that Ginny is immediately hailed by a 
group of 4th years and goes to sit with them - a clear pointer to 
her popularity.

There are also lots of references to Ginny being near Harry during 
OoP.  After he is banned from Quiddich he is sitting in the common 
room with Hermoine on one side and Ginny on the other. Coming home 
from St Mungo's on the train Molly leans across Ginny to ask Harry 
if he is feeling alright - suggesting she is sitting next to him.  
And as they all cram into the telephone box preparing to enter the 
Ministry of Magic Ron passes the phone to Harry over Ginny's head.  

There are probably more but that's all I can think of for now.  
Trust me, JKR left the clues, you just have to look really closely.
