I liked her before her "Look how awesome she's been all the 
 time!" revelation, but OotP and HBP Ginny went beyond annoying for me  
 into hateful Mary Sue please push her out a window territory. When I 
 try to think of her and Harry being married I mostly just imagine all 
 the other parents trying to avoid dealing with them.

***Katie: Lol! I also find Ginny annoying...but I did from the first book. I never liked her "I'm so shy around Harry" crap, and then in CoS, I was like, how dumb is this girl? I did not share DD's sympathy for her being hoodwinked by LV...I just thought she was kind of a dope. And her personality was very vanilla to me...I never saw much personality in her at all. She was definitely the least vivid of the major characters, IMO. 

And then her turn-around to being the "best girl ever", as Magpie said, was super-duper annoying. I never saw much in Ginny, to be honest. She wasn't wickedly smart like Hermione, or kind like Molly, or even superficially funny like Tonks...she just bored me. And the constant shoving of her delightfulness down my throat was what got really annoying. She just wasn't delightful! She was kind of nothing - the only remarkable thing about her was that she was apparently beautiful...but I never envisioned her that way. I always saw her as a small Molly...kind of freckley and dumpy. 

 Anyway, that's why I find her annoying.
