One quick prediction

We're a week away from the event that will not be named, and I'm not going to be home to discuss this in detail until after the books have hit our collective hot little hands (I'm getting it a day late, so please don't spoil it for me), but I have to throw this out there. I have nothing but a few randomly collected hints and a gut feeling to back this up, but I think....


Ginny Weasley is the reincarnation of Lily Potter

This is why (as I said, randomly collected hints):

1. She's the first girl to have been born in the Weasley family for generations and happened to have been born right about the same time James and Lily were blown to green bits.


2. She's a truly talented witch - wise beyond her years according to several professors - in a household full of boys who, well, don't exactly apply themselves. Part of that could have been the simple fact that she's a girl (and we tend to do better in school), but Ginny's prowess and its notice by the professors suggests it's not just a question of gender.


3. She loves Harry, unconditionally, and is accepting of the decisions he makes. Even when he broke up with her, she didn't really argue the point. She may be slightly upset, she may question that he's doing the right thing, but she trusts him like a mother would.One note: I'm not saying that she knows that she's the reincarnated version of his mother. Because that, you will agree, would be just plain icky. Just that she's got feelings towards him that are motherly.


4. Even though she's a pureblood wizard, she was attacked by Tom Riddle and taken into the Chamber of Secrets. The threat was clearly made towards "mudbloods" and muggles, so it would have made more sense that one of them would have been taken. Yes, I realize that the primary reason she was attacked was because of the diary; however, Voldemort's MO has always been to eliminate those closest to Harry first. Ginny wouldn't have been the logical choice at that point. When Ginny was writing in the diary, Harry was important to her but she was no more than his best mate's little sister. Though one of the hands-down funniest, most light-hearted moments in the entire septology is Harry's internal argument on pages 515-6 of Half Blood Prince. I'm just saying.

Anyway, I think that we're going to see something big, something very big out of Ginny next week. I shudder to think that there's even a possibility that Ginny may die, but like Lily before her, it may be a necessity for her to make that sacrifice in order to save Harry and allow him to vanquish Voldemort altogether.

Thoughts? Leave 'em in the comments, please!
