Yeah, Ginny is totally my least favourite character (though I could see how Lily would be, if I knew more about her), but I think that's just because she's badly written, and that I get the feeling that she's supposed to be someone I just don't see: someone who's funny instead of lame and mean, and who's "warm" and "compassionate" (Wha??!??), and more than anything, someone everyone is supposed to like. I don't see how she could be my shadow, as she just doesn't seem realistic enough to be.
I think it more likely that Snape would be my shadow -stuck in old grudges, never growing up, never moving on, or possibly Harry in all his self-absorbedness, and in always denying that he might be responsible for something himself. But honestly, I wouldn't dare calling any of these character "my shadow", for sure. I think the side in me that I hate the most, and try to repress the most, would be a narrow-minded, martyre-like, passive and weak one. And while Harry could represent the two first things there, I hardly think he could be said to be passive and weak. Hmm, I suppose Lily could though, and she certainly is martyre-like what with the whole "being the only mother in history who would die for her child"-thing going on. I suppose it could be Ginny, too, though I don't see much martyre in her yet, unless we count the self-sacrificing "I will wait for my love and even help him with his crush"-thingie... Hm, maybe she IS my shadow, after all... ;-)
