Geoff:
I don't agree that Ginny was betraying Harry. However, what she was
doing was displaying the stubbornness and pigheadedness of a
Weasley female. By going off to do "her own thing" despite being
instructed by Harry to stay out of things she comes dangerously near
to seriously distracting him at a crucial point in the battle which I
believe was selfish and thoughtless towards the person she apparently
loves.


Crescent:
 In fact, I think Ginny and her mother simply expect everyone to fall into
line and do what they want. Maybe Molly has NEEDED to be like this as the
mother of seven will children, but I think Ginny has just gotten away with
it because she is the only female child (a spoiled brat) who also happens
to have a strong bat-bogey hex.

As for betrayal, I don't think Ginny is bright enough to think that
through. But it was a betrayal–just not a conscious one.
