When did Ginny feelings become genuine and no longer that of a 
groupie?  JKR has never written anything in canon that shows this  
change take place.  To me Ginny is no better than Romilda Vane.

Don adds:

It's even worse than you state.  Not only did JKR fail to show on the 
written page when and where Ginny abandonned her "groupie" attitudes, 
what she does write only confirms that Ginny is a clueless groupie, 
right up to the very last pages of HBP!

When Harry breaks up with Ginny, what's her response? She tells him 
that she knew he wouldn't be happy unless he was fighting Voldemort.

Hello? Harry Potter is only happy when he has to be the hero? More 
like Ginny is only happy when Harry is living up to the "Boy-Who-
Lived" image that was hard-wired into her brain back when Molly was 
telling her Harry Potter bedtime stories.
