I think there's something sweet with Ginny Weasley having a super crush on Harry, sorta tried getting over it by dating Dean, then still getting Harry in the end. It could be argued that, on a psychological level, Harry needed to be "admired/adored" in the way that Ginny admired him. Hermione liked Harry, but didn't "worship" him the way many in the wizarding world did. Even though Harry is old blood from the wizarding world (from his father's side, though his from his mother he gets Muggle blood), he still largely grew up thinking he was a Muggle, living as a Muggle lived. Being paired with Ginny mirrors the situation Ronald and Hermione had, an old wizard blood family (Ronald) paired with a Muggle. The union through marriage/love of Muggle and Wizard is a nice theme, on par with other themes in Rowling's world. Voldemort and the Death Eaters had their fair share of Muggle blood, but it was always thought of as shameful, something that could be overlooked or hidden, but never something you'd marry into willingly. The union of Muggle and Wizard in the Death Eater community was not motivated by love. Thematically, Harry getting with Ginny, and Ron with Hermione, makes sense, even if Rowling didn't intend it to be that way. A happy accident.
