I saw the new Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince last night and I thought the symbolism the director used was interesting. In at least two of the scenes, Ginny is depicted in front of the famous medieval unicorn and woman tapestry. All sorts of parallels could be drawn there. Ginny is really Ginevra, the Italian form of the name Guinevere, and maybe is intended to represent a queen to Harry's king.

The unicorn is an allegory for the Christ figure and Harry is arguably a Christ figure in the last book, willingly sacrificing himself. Dumbledore sacrifices himself in this movie. 

Or maybe the director just thought it was a really cool backdrop for the Ginny/Harry scenes.
