Heh. I did think that maybe if you had a movie star staying in your inn you'd do the room service personally.
Was unsure since English is a foreign tongue to me, but Cambridge Dictionary defines "huffy" as "angry and offended" and "stalk" as "to walk in an angry or proud way", so it was hard for me to see the difference you talk about. Yes
Yup, that's what huffy means. But given that Ron's just rudely dismissed her she has good reason to be huffy. The first version of Ginny wasn't a doormat--she tells Ron and Harry to shut up in GoF. She just didn't pound people into the ground with it. I mean, imagine Ron speaking this way to Ginny in HBP. At the least she wouldn't have let Ron go without a withering remark that left him feeling and looking like a fool. But more likely it'd be worse. Nobody tells Ginny to piss off and go away and has her go away in HBP.
Oh yeah, the candy shop's totally mentioned because it'll be used later. But it still really does seem to be the big attraction in Hogsmeade.
