JKR knows how to lay foundations and generally writes her characters well. So I think she has written Ginny like this for a reason: We are to be as surprised by her change as Harry is. He hardly notices her in POA and GOF; when she's finally over her crush, she begins to interact with him in a normal way. He now notices her because they have normal conversations and Hermione has become closer to her, thus bringing more contact with Harry. Wow, he's thinking, she sure has changed. How'd *that* happen? I think the lack of info during Ginny's transformation/coming into her own in a family of boys is intentional 
to make the reader as shocked as Harry must be.
