Well, I've been reading through a lot of JKR interviews old and
recent today and saw something interesting. Unfortunately I've since
seen so many it's impossible to find you the direct extract atm, but
JKR did say "Ginny is the perfect woman for Harry ...they have both
grown and in book 6 are total equals..." She says they have both
been through a lot, and Ginny while being fiery is still able to show
understanding, compassion and acceptance of Harry - she also
recognises that he is "damaged goods" (her words too, I think).

I've thought about this whole situation abit myself - does it seem
likely that Ginny would accept it, when her emotions are a bit
calmer? The answer I'm inclined to give is NO. Would Ginny, seeing
Ron and Hermione (neither of which have been in quite as close
quarters with LV as Ginny *has* - and much earlier too), quietly
agree to the arrangement?
No way. There's far too much of Fred and George (not to mention no
small part of Molly's stubborness) in Ginny to take this 'lying
down'. I highly doubt, and will be somewhat disappointed with her,
if she doesn't make some attempt of changing Harry's mind. If love
is the power LV knows not, then they will be stronger together than
apart. I hope Harry realises this.

WG* - thinking that perhaps there's abit of Molly in her, too...
