He was Ginny's friend too. And just a little insight as to where I think the Potters may have lived. I had so many drafts of this. I almost put them back in Godric's Hollow, but then I thought about it. There was so much negativity there, and I think that Harry would want to leave the house as a memorial. I think he still visits there regularly though. But such horrible things happened to Harry whilst he was there.
They very nearly lived in the mansion where James Potter had grown up as well. However, that might have been to perfect, and also, based on references in the epilogue, which imply that the house isn't huge, the Potters ended up here. Read on my friends!

June 2000
Ginny was unpacking up the last few boxes. She was eighteen years old and already moved out of her parent's house. She was in Harry's new house. It was a reasonably sized, yet cozy and intimate cottage, with a large meadow backing onto the garden, shielded by trees, which would be a perfect place to practise Quidditch. At one end of the meadow was one bank of a beautiful, calm lake, that stretched into the valley.
It was in the perfect place, near to her Quidditch team (The Holyhead Harpies, she couldn't believe it!), in a fairly quiet area, with a lovely village just two miles away. The village already had a small wizarding community living dotted around it.
It was a picturesque place, an ideal place to raise a family, Ginny thought with a grin. Plenty of time for that later. And the best part was, Ron and Hermione were living nearby. It was quite far away from the Burrow, but wizarding conveniences such as Floo powder and apparition made it easy to visit her parents.
She was down to the last box, in what would be the study. She had a box of Harry's things, which she was arranging on the desk while he was bringing in the sofa. At the bottom of the box she found an object that she recognised, although she hadn't seen it for many years.
Harry walked in, hugging her from behind. "I… I found it. I think he would have wanted me to have it," he said, anxiously.
"I think he would have too," Ginny said, looking down at the large black camera. "He was your biggest fan. Apart from me of course."
"Ron said that he thought the two of you would start a Harry Potter fan club."
"Now that sounds like an idea," Ginny grinned, kissing him.
"We should use it," she said, when she finally pulled away. "Fill it with memories. He would have wanted that." She turned around quickly, snapping a picture of Harry, who was completely unprepared.
"Right, that isn't fair, give me that," he said, pretending to be angry, making a grab for the camera. There was a short wrestling match, after which Harry ended up on top of her, pointing the camera at her face. Ginny was giggling helplessly, trying to push him off of her without really trying too hard.
Harry snapped several unflattering pictures of her, after which they were both in stitches, before he let her up.
"Let's take a nice one," Ginny said. Harry leaned over her, stretching his arm out to take the picture. They took a couple more, pulling hideous faces like children, leaving them in fits of laughter, before finally setting the camera down.
"We can have a good laugh when they get developed," he said. Ginny smiled, and put her arms around his neck. They kissed again, a deep, melting kiss, which could have gone on forever.
Finally they broke apart. "Here's to our life," Harry said.
"Together," Ginny agreed.
