Character Identification and Popularity

Well I've been lurking a bit lately, haven't I?  You WILL get the 
character analaysis but not today...

I just HAD to comment on the character that I most identify with most 
and why. It is Hermione.  

Well, firstly I'm male and so while I think that Hermione is a fairly 
strong female character I don't think it is her strongest point.  
She, like Harry, or Ron or anyone is multi layered and gender is not 
really the biggest factor in the story.

Secondly, I may not be as smart as Hermione but I can identify with 
her in that smarts are her best field...I mean she isn't and all star 
Quidditch player.  She isn't the most popular.  She is a "workaholic" 
and I think I'm like that it's what I'm best at.  Not to say I'm an 
utter failure at sport; but not as good as at my books.  

I imagine too that Hermione puts her studies first because she is 
GOOD 
at them and it covers up her underlying insecurities of not fitting 
in with the wizard world...(IMHO of course...)



As for popularity- Do you picture H,Hr, and R as being the most 
popular in their class...which cliques DO the popular people belong 
to?
