I thought that maybe it really was blood, but Ginny was just in denial, or maybe that her first thought on seeing herself covered in something red wouldn't be that it was blood. More symbolism of adolescence?
I wouldn't be surprised if Lockhart was a Muggle-born- the "magic" quote, and the bit where he says that when he was young, he was a nobody- it just seems to fit.
And I can picture a high voice being cold, but it's more a colour than anything else.
