zanooda:

Maybe Pippin (or someone else :-)) meant another card that Ginny gave
to Harry when he was in the hospital wing in PoA - that one was a
singing get-well card, and she needed to do some magic to make it.

As for Ginny's Valentine, it doesn't seem magical to me - it's just a
poem, I think, but it's funny and I like it. I even translated it into
Russian, because the official translation was too far from the
original - the toad wasn't pickled there, LOL.

It's interesting that, even if we were never told in the book that the
Valentine was from Ginny, Malfoy guessed right away it was from her.
Ginny's crush on Harry must have been very obvious, I suppose :-).
