A Long Journey Home meets your criteria:
No dumbledore bashing
There is gentle poking fun at Dumbledore in a specific situation after he oversteps his bounds, but it’s modest, proportionate to the situation, in good taste, and nowhere near the over the top bashing “DUmBlEs iS HiTLEr” you see from authors like RobSt.
No Weasley bashing
None whatsoever.
No Hermione bashing
Again, none of this at all appears in the story.
Doesn’t need to be Harry/Ginny
The Harry/Ginny pairing does not exist in this story.
Snape must not be the devil incarnate, but neither he should be an innocent angel
I don’t think Snape is featured much, if at all, within the story.

Fair warning: while this story is my favorite fanfiction, regardless of fandom, you should be aware that it’s incomplete, was last updated in 2017, and is very likely abandoned.
