Hickengruendler:

I promise that I won't write much more about this topic, since I'm 
starting to repeat myself. However, I want to comment on this special 
point once more. I have seen this comment a few times in the last 
post, how mature it was from Harry and Ginny, to realize that it had 
to be done for Ginny's safety. And I don't really see it.

My problem is: Is Ginny really safer now? I think she is not. She is 
a member of a "blood traitor family", she already fought the Death 
Eaters twice and, girlfriend or not, she is a member of Harry's 
favourite family and Voldemort knows this. According to Mrs Weasley's 
clock, Ginny already was in mortal peril at the beginning of the 
year, and this surely hasn't changed. She is still a not unlikely 
target for the Death Eaters. And Voldemort knows that Harry cares 
enough for her to risk his life for her, even if she is not his 
girlfriend. Tom used her to get Harry in the Chamber of Secrets long 
before Harry even thought about dating Ginny.

Therefore the argument that the break-up had to be done, and that 
Harry and Ginny behaved really maturely doesn't convince me at all, 
since I see no reason for them to split.

I mean, did it help Amelia Bones or Florean Fortescue that they were 
not close to Harry?
