I have to agree with you about Fleur and Bill. They had such a lovely little romance, much better than others I can think of (*cough*RemusandTonks*cough*). Some pretty awful assumptions are made about Fleur, but really she was awesome. Smart and capable and chosen to represent her school; a wonderful big sister; and a loving and loyal wife. Her complaining about things being better in France reminded me that when I was first married and I moved in with my spouse I ended up crying in the shower because it had a curtain and not a door like I was used to. I'm not ridiculous or petty, I was just overwhelmed by the number of little changes that I had to get used to and I didn't even change countries so I'd be willing to bet she was feeling lonely and overwhelmed despite being very much in love with Bill.
I am fully ready to adopt that Charlie headcanon as my own, Hagrid and Charlie being bros about all the cool dragons. ;) There done.
That is such a wonderful point about Fred and George, oh man there go my feels.
I'm totally with you on Ron, that trope makes zero sense to me honestly and while he's by no means perfect, I do feel that of the trio he is in fact the best example of an ideal Gryffindor. (Hermione having Ravenclaw leanings while Harry could have just as easily been Slytherin.)
As for Ginny, I like her too. I might not have liked where her character was taken (epilogue, what epilogue), but she was awesome; strong, and fierce and honestly a lot like her mom though I don't see her as being the happy homemaker type.
