Scott:
That wasn't what I was talking about... see you've forgotten too.

At the start of the Battle of Hogwarts Ginny was left in the room
of requirement to guard their rear exit, aka keep the room set to
that particular setting so they could escape if necessary.  When
Harry and Hermione needed into the room to find the diadem he asked
Ginny to step out of the room.  As soon as she could she ran off to
do what she wanted leaving Harry and Hermione to be trapped by Draco
and the Butt boys.  If she had stayed where she belonged she could
have warned Harry and Hermione of the coming problem and evened the
odds in fighting, but no... she abandoned her post - in a battle -
and nearly got them killed.  Instead of getting what she deserved,
she got the hero.  I guess she should send the Dursleys a Thank You
card for teaching Harry that causing harm to him means I Love You.
