Some Facts About Ginny Weasley
She’s a good Quidditch player. She’s a strong player from the start who enjoys the game, and is easily the best chaser on the team in HBP.
She’s principled. When Ron/Harry are discussing their lack of dates for the Yule Ball in GoF, Ron gives her an opportunity to go to the Yule Ball with Harry (“Ginny, you can go with Harry and I’ll just-”). Ginny, despite her crush, says she can’t because she’s already spoken to Neville. She could have dropped him, but didn’t.
She’s independent. She doesn’t hang around waiting for Harry. She goes off and lives her own life and dates other people. When she dated Dean, she disliked how he felt the need to help her into the common room as though she couldn’t do it herself. Though she was obviously upset at Harry breaking up with her and later leaving to go after Voldemort, she never tried to convince him to stay with her.
She’s well-liked. After a rough first year at Hogwarts, she slowly builds up a social circle. She gets asked to the Yule Ball by Neville (who must consider her a friend if not a potential love interest), starts dating Michael when she’s 13 and gets together with Dean when she’s 14. She appears to have more male friends than female friends (which makes sense since she was raised with brothers).
She’s kind. She forms a friendship with Luna and Neville, neither of whom are exactly the most popular people in school. She also sticks up for Luna to Ron and to other students. She’s almost certainly the person who invited Luna to come to the first D.A. meeting. At the beginning of OP, Luna asks who Neville is and Neville responds “I’m nobody,” but Ginny is quick to snap “No you’re not” and introduce him.
She’s “fun.” She has a good sense of humor, and shares jokes with Harry even pre-HBP. She’s probably closer to the twins than any of the other Weasley siblings. She makes Harry and others laugh with her jokes and impressions. Harry is so happy with her that he describes it as “like something out of someone else’s life.”
She’s not afraid to call people out. Despite her crush on Harry, she’s not afraid to call him out at Christmas in OP. Nor is she afraid to call Harry out when he tries to get her to stay behind in OP. She’s quick to defend Luna and Neville. When Ron catches her in the corridor with Dean, she gives as good as she gets.
She’s determined. The twins make a comment about her being surprisingly good at flying, and Hermione matter-of-factly informs them that she’s been breaking into the broomshed to borrow their brooms since she was 6. When discussing the “weapon” in OP, George says “Size is no guarantee of power” and then uses Ginny/her bat boogy hexes as proof.
