Harry Potter Ginny/Butter dish

I think you have missed the point. In the Chamber of Secrets, one of the first things she did when in the same room with him was knock her bowl to the floor. Only when he spoke to her did she put her elbow in the butter dish. I have seen quite a few stories concerning that moment, but never one involving the bowl falling to the floor, which seems just as funny as the butter dish.
Considering that butter is rather ... modifiable, let's try this - SOMEone pushes Harry's head into a plate full of butter. He shrugs it off, but no one notices that his face is now impressed on the butter. No one except Ginny who decides that (due to plot reasons of Harry rejecting her) it's the next best thing.
After all, how can you go wrong with buttery goodness?

Nah, Ginny leave Harry for the butter dish, and admits their children are the dish's.
Ginny is explaining to her friends the deep, emotional connection she has with the is, while harry is talking to Hermione trying to figure out how butter dish can impregnate someone.
Given the wizarding world's weirdness, I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility.

Alright, I like a challenge...
Let's say... the ancestors wanted to look out for their descendents, so a lot of them put an impression of their soul into various items that were passed on to their children. Similar to how paintings work, but without your ancestors complaining about how things were different back in the day.
Ginny's soul was in flux after being partially eaten by Tom in Chamber of Secrets. This led to her soul being a bit more flexible for a few months after, parts of it breaking off and coming back as it tries to find its equilibrium. Part of it attached to the butter dish impression, taking a bit of the impression back to Ginny, while leaving a part of her in the dish. Eventually a more solid bond formed between the butter dish and Ginny, and part of her soul acted as fuel for the impression, making it more real and aware than it otherwise would have been. So we have a soul bonded Ginny attached to a butter dish. Many a fic has had a relationship be amazing just because of this bond, and struggling to overcome the prejudice of society towards their unique love sound about right.
Fanon says Weasleys know a lot about fertility magic, so let's use that. The butter dish has the soul of a Weasley who knew more than most about fertility charms, and working with Ginny, they manage to figure out a way for magic to use his soul as material to achieve conception, rather than the traditional bodily fluid.
Ginny reveals the truth to Harry after finally getting the spells to transfer her lover into a more suitable vessel, so they can truly be together.
I could probably keep going. Somehow I'm warming to this story plot idea...

No. It's basically just like the paintings in Hogwarts. It's an impression of the person who made it, but not a true fragment of their soul. It's when Ginny's messed up soul attaches to it that it slowly becomes something more than semi-aware. A horcrux is complete from the get go, and doesn't need additional soul power to become truly sentient.
Furthermore, the dish is being altered by Ginny's soul. Ginny is shaping and being shaped by the dish, and vice versa. The dish becomes more
The dish becomes "alive" because of the unusual circumstances it's subjected to, much like the Weasley's Car somehow becomes alive thanks to the Whomping Willow/Forbidden Forest/Magic around Hogwarts. You could argue that Arthur poured his soul into building the car, but I don't think anyone would say that the car is a horcrux, despite coming to life as an independent entity in book two.
(...That would actually make for an interesting story. Arthur is researching a way to create a Horcrux without having to deal with that pesky murder/insanity aspect of it.)
I suppose you could consider the butter dish the child of the Ancestor (providing the initial material) and Ginny (providing the energy to grow and mature.) Of course, this means Ginny falls in love with her own son and has children with him, but this idea is pretty messed up enough as it is, so I don't think it's really going to make it worse.

Because putting her elbow in the butter dish is a lot funnier and more heartwarming than simply knocking her bowl to the floor. Secondary possible reason -- someone will have to verify if this is the case, because I won't -- the movie only had her putting her elbow in the butter dish and not knocking her bowl to the floor, and so people who prioritize the film versions have forgotten.
Random thought: If pouring enough magic into something can give it animation and at least an imitation of sentience, I'm trying to imagine a ickle!Harry shoving enough magic into something as a kid to make a companion.
Maybe a little toy soldier, or more amusing the brooms and mops or something. Just fucking little Harry, in the middle of a Fantasia style cleaning orchestration
Or a little female harry making a doll and giving it sentience. Malfoy tries to give her shit for it because she's still carrying it around at Hogwarts and the little thing promptly animates and tries to rip his eyeballs out.

In regards to the original idea, how could there be a happy ending? Ginny gets a happy ending, but what about Harry? How would he end up happy in the aftermath of his wife leaving him for an inanimate object?
Luna seems the stereotypical answer, but there hve to be plenty of other attractive single women who would comfort him in his moment of need, right?
