Is it a coincidence that Ginny has the same long red hair, the same popularity in school, and the same courage as Harry's mother, or did J.K Rowling deliberately make Lily and Ginny very similar for a reason? If she did, why? And do you think it will be important in the final book?

I think they are similar people, but they are still different and come from very different backgrounds...
Lily is muggle-born, while Ginny is pure-blood
Lily had one sister, Ginny had 6 brothers
Lily was good at charms and Potions, while Ginny is good at Hexes and Quidditch
We only have one view of Lily, while we have many scenes with Ginny - how she was shy and reserved, a fangirl, and then how she grew up. Lily might have been loud and obnoxious before that one scene in 5th year, and we don't know much about who her friends were or what she did for fun.
So I don't think it will turn out being a big deal, except maybe showing that the Potter men have a weakness for red hair and strong personalities. :-D

men do seem to be attracted to girls who are like their mothers however both of thier confidence comes from different places lily was secure in james's attraction to her before she started to like him so her confidence came from her loveing family always being there for her whereas ginny was timid at first until she got over a few things and came into her own plus untol harry kissed her she did not know whether he liked her that way or not so they are different

I think you've got a point about the similarities and I agree with 10 days.....
but don't really think it's important in the final book, just a nice little twist.
