I agree with you all who feel this way.  In fact, Harry seemed to 
care more about Ron and Hermione's reaction to his kissing Ginny than 
to Ginny's reaction to it.  Why didn't we get Ginny's reaction?  All 
of Harry's worries were about how Ron would feel.  He never worried 
if Ginny would reject him or not.  Not one moment of doubt when he 
spontaneously kissed her.  He didn't look down to see if she was ok 
with it or not.

I agree.   I lobster hate Ginny with Harry.  It seems like not more 
than a physical attraction to me.  I can buy Jo's reason for keeping 
Ginny under the radar before the relationship, but not during!  Why 
on earth should I care about Ginny?  It says a lot to me that I care 
more about Luna and Neville, who apparently are now no more important 
than Dean and Seamus.
