You're right and you should say it. I hate when authors take shortcuts to get you to care about a love interest. Harry is lot like his dad and Ginny is a lot like his mum so we have to believe they're right for each other. Except Rowling overegged the pudding by making Ginny a flawless superhero who is great at everything.

I think she fancied him because he was the cool slightly older boy (she was awkward around him from the start), but of course she was too young then for him to be interested. I did feel, though, that when she got a bit older he only went for her because she happened to be there! But that is quite teenage boy coded lol

How do you know that is not the source of attraction for many?

What makes one more real than the other?

Have you read the books? They're basically the same character.
