See, I can never believe in Ginny being into Quidditch, either, given the fact that she fell asleep during Quidditch talks in GoF and in PoA does not try out despite the fact that Oliver Wood is desperately scouring the kitchens for house elves who won't faint when the Dementors come round. So unfortunately I read her Quidditch enthusiasm as another way of bagging the boy who lived, and avert my eyes from it in some pain.
As for Snape and Hermione - well, I was just pleased to see some people telling Harry it decidedly wasn't OK, and fanwank that since Harry must realise the level of this uncoolness in book 7, JKR did not want to make him realise in book 6. However, had people actually said to him 'DO YOU REALISE YOU ALMOST KILLED SOMEBODY? KILLED, WITH DEATH?' and he'd said 'Yeah, but it was only Malfoy' he would've looked like a sociopath. Hence the fact they're ... all... avoiding the killing subject because... they none of them want to face it... killing, so horrible... tears your soul. That's it. Really.
Thanks, slytherincess gave it me. I need to give more love to the girls.
