Alla:

And here we have exactly what Nora was talking about, IMO. Did JKR 
fell down when it came to Ginny's character OR we filled in the 
blanks incorrectly ( and I am definitely including myself here) and 
then we are crying foul, because we ASSUMED that JKR would be going 
different road with Ginny?



Sherry now:

I think you are right on target, Alla.  After all, not all fans cried foul
over Ginny.  i saw it coming from book one, even more so in book two, more
in four and absolutely in five.  i know lots of people didn't, but I wasn't
a bit surprised by Ginny's character development or the ship with Harry.
The clues were there for some of us.  So, i don't think JKR didn't do her
job well in this case.
