Yeah... I also have this weird feeling about the relationship where, when Ginny is pursuing Harry, he's not even remotely interested. It's not until he starts going after her that they get together, and something about that is weird to me. I can't decide if it's because it reads like 'playing hard to get' or if it has to do with gender roles. But the whole relationship seems very shallow because it's all based in desire, since we get no sense of their chemistry or what he sees in her to start with. Like you said, it happens off-screen, and that makes it feel forced.

When does Ginny pursue Harry ?

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously? You don't remember the love song she had sent to him or the cards she sends when he gets hurt?

Of course they're young then, but even those don't even cause him to notice her. He never thinks about them again.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes I remember them but I didn't think of them as pursuing I guess. Because they are so young.

He feels bad for Ginny when she gets teased by Malfoy when the card is sent though. And he keeps the signing card in PoA. He did seem to care for her feelings which is more than you could say for his treatment of Hermione at that age.

I just reread the second book recently (with Mark reads HP) and I didn't find Harry feeling sorry for Ginny when Malfoy teases her, he is so humiliated himself over the fact that he was sent a singing valentine, that it seems to be all that's on his mind there. And it serves a plot point with him breaking the ink onto the diary. But you're right that he keeps the singing card (under a pot to keep it quiet), and I think he probably does treat her differently from Hermione, but I just don't see him having any real particular consideration there. I always figured he gave Hermione a hard time because they're friends rather than because he's romantically interested in Ginny as opposed to Hermione (though he obv isn't interested in her that way either).

...Well, I know what I'm doing for the rest of today XD

She "pursued" (and I used that because that's the word you used--I would call it a school girl crush at best because she wouldn't have known what to do with him had she "got" him at that age) him when she was 11 and he was 12. He pursued her at 16 when she was 15. We're talking a huge age difference dynamic. It's the difference between puppy love and a possible sexual relationship.

I don't see gender as having anything to do with it. It's more of a, "Ginny was always interested on some level; Harry had to come around." Had a female been the main character instead of a male, it could have easly played out the same way--but we're focusing on the protag's growth and realizations, not the love interest's. Hence why Harry had to be the one to come around or else we get no growth/change from when he's 12.
