I agree that the story of Harry/Ginny romance is not well developed in
the series, and I think that the reason for that is because it's
simply not the main plot of the books. Rowling hasn't spent a ton of
time planning on how to make the HP series a great romantic story.
The main plot of the series is a coming-of-age journey and a good vs.
evil battle. Romance is supposed to be a side story that is "fun"
and "light-hearted" (I think this is the reason why there's more-than-
usual amount of romance in book 6--otherwise the book would simply be
too dark). Therefore, Rowling may see no reason to go into details of
the interaction between Harry and Ginny (e.g. their walk after the
kiss). It's just not that important to the main story line. In fact,
I honestly believe that Rowling was surprised by how HP shipping has
become such a huge phonomenon on the Internet.
