I think Ginny Weasley definitely belongs in the Slug Club. I know that she was put into the club because Slughorn hear about her casting a really good spell, but I think she definitely deserves it. Ginny isn't really talked about much in the series other than in relation to her relationship with Harry, which kind of annoys me. However, you get the feeling that she is a pretty powerful witch for her age (maybe not in the way that Hermione is smart, but in a magical AMOUNT sort of way). Also, she did get pretty popular in her year (again this is kind of said in the series) and she was a great Quidditch player, which shows her emergence as a leader and someone who could command attention. I think she gets overshadowed by her older brothers but really has a lot of want to prove herself and does a good job at it. I like to think that if the book were centered around someone Ginny's age, she would get a lot more written about her. She was also one of the people who accompanied Harry to the Ministry and did relatively well, considering that she was the youngest there. I think as a skilled witch, Ginny deserves the upward boost that Slughorn may have been able to supply her with by his connections.
