I'm not sure what to say ... you seem to be trying very very hard to ignore what's written in the canon text.

In your first post you seem to take pains to sidestep the most relevant part of each of the 'Ginny is pretty' scenes, ignoring the text where characters state outright that Ginny is pretty or good-looking. Rather than note Pansy's simple statement that "a lot of boys like her" or "even [Blaise] thinks she's good looking" you instead concentrate on Blaise's reaction (then, and later in the Slug Club!?). Victor says - twice! - that Ginny is nice/good looking ... but you conveniently ignore those words and choose to drag in Hermione!?

You've got all these various people stating that Ginny is pretty, good-looking, that "a lot of boys like her". That's in black and white.

There's no need to drag in Hermione.

There's no need to worry about whether Blaise personally is attracted to Ginny - he's told us why he's not interested in Ginny. And his reason doesn't contradict the fact of Ginny's physical beauty.

There's no need to bring in Fleur, Gabrielle or any of the others. We know they're beautiful because Harry noticed their beauty in the course of the narrative. We know Ginny is pretty because Harry, Pansy, a DE, a bloke in the street and 'a lot of boys' have noted same.
