I always knew that Ginny and Harry would become a couple. CoS was a 
big clue for me. Ginny stands up for Harry at the bookstore, even 
though she was shy around Harry at the Burrow. The fact that JKR chose 
Ginny as the recipient of the diary was important. Think about it? JKR 
could have easily slipped the book to Ron, but she didn't. She gave it 
to this new character, a girl. And the fact that JKR made one of the 
Weasley's a girl is also important. Besides the fact that saving 
the "sleeping" princess from the clutches of a basilisk, a dragonlike, 
monster is more interesting to me than a guy saving another guy. This 
scene felt like foreshadowing to. 

I also liked that Ginny (during GoF or was it OOTP?) tried very hard 
to make Harry happy by trying to get him to hook up with Cho, even 
though this was probably killing her inside. She was more interested 
in Harry's happiness, instead of her own. I never once believed that 
Ginny was over Harry. What I did see, though, was a girl that was not 
stupid or a pushover. I liked the fact that she moved on to other boys 
when she realized that Harry was not interested. 

The scene where Ginny and Harry share the chocolate egg also had 
symbolic meaning. Harry and Ginny do after all "share" something in 
common. Harry is unlike any of the other students at the school, and 
he often feels lonely because of it. This scene is very interesting in 
how Harry reacts to Ginny. 

Cho has nothing over Ginny, either. I laughed in one scene when Harry 
said to Cho: "You're not going to start crying again are you?" which 
just happened to be what I was thinking as well. I also liked that JKR 
should Ginny playing Quidditch against Cho, and that she clobbered Cho 
(Cho even starts to cry---AGAIN!). Harry needs someone that is strong 
enough to handle the kind of life Harry leads. 

I like Ginny, but that's JMO.
