Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. For my part I spent my young adult years as a chronic sleeper in other people's beds but often just so that I wasn't sleeping alone, with no shagging involved, so that seemed perfectly natural to me. But I was raised partially hippie, so things that seem normal to me often aren't! (Though if I think someone is odd, they're probably writing for The Times about shagging their brother, and are therefore quite odd indeed!)

But I do think that Ginny's role in the second half of the story was very much trying to become worthy of Harry. It was easy to lose track of that, though, because it was so much off camera. I think we can agree that the characterisation and dialogue were both very fine all the way through!
