Allie:

I know others have said this, but I really think the "Ginny is a 
slut" idea is VERY overblown.  I almost wonder if fan chatter was 
the reason that JKR put that argument into the book.  Two boyfriends 
in two years is NOTHING for a 15-year-old girl.  And what is Ginny 
supposed to have done with these boys that makes her a slut?  I'm 
SURE that JKR has not written Harry's love interest as someone who's 
sleeping around at age 15!

Allie:

Ooh, I like the idea of Ginny's angry/mean streak being useful in a 
defense situation.  I'm not sure I want her to use an unforgivable 
curse, but maybe something powerful enough to knock a few death 
eaters out when it's desperately needed.
