I was not surprised at all that Ginny was relegated to Fair Princess status. Rowling handled their "romance" so poorly in other books that it was true to form. I think she falls into the Tolkein trap of being rather bad at dealing with that subject. Ginny being underage and too young for battle was rather convenient - I could almost hear Rowling's sigh of relief.
(Yeah, that's where I really start stabbing her as a writer...I found their relationship disappointing all around.)

Hmm, now I can't decide between your idea, BTD, and my brother's. He thought that when Harry was there talking to Dumbledore, Voldie was there too, experiencing the awful torment of being that nasty thing. I guess they could both be right.
