hymniaAnd so I present a poll. I would like input from anyone who has read the books, not just fandomers. Feel free to pimp to a wider audience.
[Poll #1031847]
Sorry for the lack of ticky boxes. I wanted to keep it simple. Feel free to elaborate in comments.
ETA: I'm totally amused that the comments to this post managed to turn into a discussion of Snape and Snapefen.

the Ginny I saw was so different from the Ginny Harry saw
For me, I think the words "the Ginny Harry saw" are the crucial ones there. The books are written more-or-less from Harry's POV - and he's a teenager, with teenage emotions and a major crush. His perceptions of Ginny are therefore tinted, and thus so are the readers'.
Personally, I love Ginny. She's so fiery. I really wish Rowling had done more with her though - I mean, after what she went through in CoS she must have all kinds of issues that were never really dealt with in the books.
