I think she always planned for Harry and Ginny. There
are small hints in all the books, dropped along the
way. But, I also think she intentionally held Ginny
in the background and allowed he to live and develop
separate from Harry. That why, when the beast of
jealousy arises in Harry at the sight of Ginny 
snogging another boy, it is as much a shock to us as
it is to Harry. 

I think the true /reveal/ of Ginny as a strong 
determined Weasley was planned from the very beginning.
When Ginny was Ron's simpering younger sister, Harry
didn't pay much attention, but when she is revealed as
the strong character she truly is, I think Harry saw
in her the perfect mate.
