As to whether it was their best course of action, well, they did 
need to save Ginny ASAP and they had nobody to go to. Actually, they 
DID try to approach Lockhart first, as DADA teacher, so I'd say that 
yes they did everything they could.

Sherry Now:

let's also remember that the boys were only 12 at this point.  I don't think
we can expect a whole lot of mature thinking and wise understanding from
them at that age.  Ginny had been kidnapped, and they could and did help.
any other course of action would have resulted in her death.  this is, after
all, a fantasy, and the hero is supposed to be unconventional and act on his
own without the help of adults.
