There are two things that bothered me about the "it's in your blood 
comment".  The first is that it reminded me immediately of the word 
mudblood.  I'm not sure why that's a problem, but it doesn't sit well 
with me.

The second is that Hermione would never and JKR would NEVER say that.  
One of the big themes throughout the books is that our choices, not 
our blood, matters.  Hermione telling Harry that Quidditch is in his 
blood is like telling him he had no choice in the matter.  Boy, did 
that irritate me.
