Utterly agree. We get told "She's got a sense of humor!" But she's never given a funny line. We get told "She's popular!" but we never see her interacting with her friends. She's just kind of this amorphous blob of positive adjectives that Harry marries.

And to me, being TOLD ABOUT a character, rather than introduced to a character and allowed to form our own opinion is a Mary Sue trait. "She had gorgeous hair" vs. "Her hair was a soft auburn color"

Also, Harry and Ginny in the books squicked me a little because I got the impression Rowling was pushing "Molly = Mommy. Ron = Brother. Ginny = Sister" And only later realized "Ooooh. She means Molly = Mother-in-law, Ron = Brother-in-law, Ginny = wife" But that was just a personal thing and I'm certainly not going to argue with those who say it differently.

I have to say, Ginny made me laugh quite a bit at various points in the series so I disagree that she's never given a funny line. Though I do agree that her friends are never given names. She hangs out with the trio, Neville and Luna a lot but when she is interacting with other friends, JKR just says she was with her friends.

You also SEE her fiercely defending her friends and family at various points and being able to hold her own so I don't see one instance being a Mary Sue trait. We are told lots about Hermione too for example.
