Why did JKR not explore H/Hr as canon?

I would say the fact that Hermione is forced to explain to
everyone--including Ginny's only family members that she was out
stealing brooms to practice flying is an indication that no one knew
that she had sporty inclinations.  There are several points that
bother me with this explanation (or retcon as I look at it)

1. Hermione had to explain it because there was no evidence in the
book, even for her family members and not just Harry's filter.

2. Learning how to play a team sport solo is pretty much impossible.
Even for a prodigy.  there is a great TV show in the US called Kyle
XY. its about a kid who is pretty much perfect in every way both
physically and mentally, except for the fact he has no memory. In one
of the episodes, Kyle joins the basketball team because he is so
gifted he can score pretty much at will. But because he had no
understanding of team dynamics he wasn't a dominating figure on the
team. He just couldn't be. For Ginny to be so awesomely wonderful with
such a minimal amount of practice is just plain silly.

3. Even if Ginny could get so wonderful with only a little bit of
practice, I still can't buy it.  Ginny was six when she supposedly
started taking brooms. So her mother, overprotective Ogress mother
bear Molly 'fricken' Weasley never, ever noticed that her daughter was
sneaking out at night?  she didn't have any magical guards and wards
on the broom shed for just that very purpose? That lovely magical
clock never showed flying stupidly over the roof of the burrow when
she got up in the middle of the night to get some hot coco one night?
 And the twins, always on the watch for pranks didn't notice that
their brooms weren't where they left them?

So even were I to swallow Ginny's propensity for Quiddich and flying,
the explanation given and ridiculous explanations that are just too
unbelievable.

Combine that with her annoying other habits and you have a recipe for
  a ship hating guy.

Right there with you on that. Rather play than watch. Except for
Baseball. Neither is all that much fun :)

 Maybe Ginny is the same

Not that young. Only a year younger than her badass self in OotP. 
Still a lot of changes in only a year.
