This is completely off topic, but i'm curious, does anyone else find it odd, that Mr. and Mrs granger don't see Hermione at all during school, except Christmas, and then only for like two weeks in the summer. That's like what, a twelvth of the year. Don't know why, but that always bothered me, especially now that Voldemort is back, and her life is consistently in danger.
I know in OotP when Hermione skips out on going skiing with her folks she says to HP and Ron that her parents weren't too pleased about that. SO I suspect they want to see her but she always has a reason she needs to do things with her friends from school -- and if I do recall, at her age I spent far more time with my friends than with my family.
I think the actress that plays Ginny is cute too. Just wanted to defend the poor little thing from those who say she isn't pretty
4. How is it that Harry seems as though he was in love with Ginny for ages by the end of this book? "We could have had ages together..." like where did THAT come from? Last I heard Harry was deeply immersed for Cho Chang (whom I still support, despite all the critcism) and Ginny was the one who had a Crush on him..it was a one way street. So again, that makes no sense
I think the Harry/Ginny thing makes perfect sense...
The only stable thing in Harry's life for the past few years has been the weasleys...they are his friends and in a way, they are his family. Harry and Ginny have known each other for so long now that even though they only just began to date this year, what they have runs deeper than it would have if she was any other girl. He's always had a bond with her per se -- the weasleys are like family and he would do anything to help any one of them. They have a particularly special bond to begin with because he's saved her life before -- even though he only thought of her as ron's sister. All the weasleys probably have a place in his heart so it's not like he was dating
just anyone. Without knowing it's called "love" you can love someone -- I'm quite certain that HP feels love in his heart for Ron, Hermione, Ginny and mr/mrs weasley. So the moment he started feeling interested in Ginny it's as if the feelings were there forever, even though they obviously weren't. I've thought all along they were a perfect pairing -- I just didn't know how long it would take him to realize it.
