Frankly, I think Fleur is reintroduced again because she points the way to 
the end of the series: the trio is growing up, and will get married, settle 
down and will have kids themselves. It's all about love, growing up, the 
future. It's only natural to show, as Rowling usually does, someone else 
doing something before Harry himself does it. I don't think there is any 
deep theory about her at all- she is what she is- someone marrying into the 
Weasley family, and that she will only be the first of many yet to come. I 
think Fleur paves the way for Harry to marry into the family. I think the 
weddings we will see are the Wizarding World's attempt to keep at a normal 
life, despite all the wickedness and hardship that is war around them.
