Something I know has been raised about H/G in past discussions (but not AFAIK in 
the past couple of days) is that she is a Weasley, and that in itself is an attraction to 
Harry.

My brother actually married one of my best friends from school.  He started hanging 
around whenever she came over when he was 14.  I don't mean to imply that they 
were not truly in love when I say that her family was pretty dysfunctional in many 
ways (which I do not have permission to reveal) and that being part of our loving and 
sharing family - being a daughter in our household - was a big attraction for her.

For Harry, for whom The Burrow is the best home he has ever come across, and the 
Weasleys the epitome of families, a Weasley girl will definitely have added attractions.

I don't find her obnoxious at all - in fact I am puzzled that so many people on the list 
find so many characters obnoxious.  What - we're all perfect?  I find very few 
characters obnoxious, as JKR has generally left enough clues for us to understand 
what insecurities or motives underly annoying behaviour.  Perhaps you can rank me 
with Lupin, as someone who finds it difficult to hate, preferring to try to understand.
