Ken:
If you feel that this is what she should have done perhaps you are
right. There is no evidence to suggest that she did do however. The
boys had no trouble stealing the flying car. Molly did not seem to
even know that the car could fly but if the brooms were locked up that
car has to be too because where would the boys turn when they couldn't
get to the brooms? I don't think that Ginny would have had any trouble
borrowing a broom. Molly might not even have cared if she found out as
long as Ginny caused no trouble.

Ken:
Sorry but Ginny is a Quidditch prodigy. It's not like it doesn't run
in the family. By the time she was a chaser she had the opportunity to
train with the team. Women are more naturally team players than men,
in my experience and hoping I don't take too much heat for saying so.
Of all the many things I could think of to question about how
Quidditch is portrayed, Ginny's skill at the game would come way down
my list from Harry's which isn't all that high to begin with. These
novels seem to have several prodigies, there is no rule that says only
one to a story.
