Jim:

As a parent, I have a perspective here: I think Ginny would look on
the child as a consolation, and if there was anyone who had no reason
to worry about bringing up her baby alone, it would be Ginny Potter.
As strong as she is, she would handle it like few other people could.
We have to give Ginny the respect to accept her choice, and I feel
sure her choice would be to have a baby with Harry.


Magpie:
Speaking as just a reader, and a selfish one, I would be incredibly annoyed
(and shocked) if JKR wasted space in the seventh book pre-epilogue for
Harry and Ginny to decide to get married so that Ginny Potter can decide to
have an infant as a "piece of Harry" after he's dead or not. Of all the
problems Harry Potter has dealt with in the series, the need to pass his
genes on to the next generation via a baby has never been one of them, nor
has whether Ginny Weasley is strong enough to be a single mother. Both
questions seem completely irrelevent to anything going on.
