Lynda:
She was not "expressing her freedom". The whole thing about "guarding the
room" as you put it, was just something her overprotective mother had
established to keep her only daughter out of the fight, using the excuse
that she was underage. When Ginny stepped out of the room, Harry, along
with the other people in the room, knew what she would do, join the
fighting. And, I might add, she did not need to be there anymore, to keep
it open. The room was then needed for another purpose, to become the
storage room for the diadem, so that Harry et al. could find it. Still no
abandonment and betrayal on Ginny's part. Just youthful exuberance and
stubborness.
