Except for Ginny's role at the end of CoS, I too never really thought
much about her until reading OotP. But let's remember that we are
following Harry in these books, not any of the other characters. Since
Ron and Hermione spend a lot of time with the hero, then we get to see
all sides of their personalities. But honestly, who saw that Krum and
Hermione would end up at the Yule Ball together? 

The fact that Hermione and Ginny are good friends is of little
surprise to me. After all, Hermione is a girl and does not spend much
time with the boys when they are in their dorm rooms. I always
wondered what Hermione did/talked about when she was in her dorm room.
Hermione has visited the Weasleys over the summer, Ginny's company was
probably a pleasant escape from Ron and the twins.

Instead of being so hard on Ginny's characterization, maybe we should
be asking why JKR all of a sudden is showing Ginny's true colors. Who
else has been introduced to us in the books but because Harry spends
little time with them, we do not know what their abilities and talents
are?

Just my thoughts...
