Dave & Steve,

It probably is more than enough, but it seems many of us would also 
like to know definitively whether Hermione is older or younger than 
Ron and Harry.  I had assumed she was older, because of the quoted 
birth date and her apparent greater maturity, but a lot of well 
argued opinions have been advanced to the contrary.  In fact I get 
the feeling many members are quite desperate for her to be younger, 
perhaps because they feel that she can't be an item with either Ron 
or Harry without being younger than her bloke? (I wouldn't worry too 
much about this though - slightly younger male/older female works at 
least as well, based on my own experience)
