Um, Mike?  Maybe she just hates them.  The flowers she did choose 
could have been her favorites.  Knowing her, she probably thought the 
tradition was silly and just picked whatever struck her fancy at the 
time.

real men kept their women locked up, barefoot and pregnant, and who 
is rather suspicious of Ebony's Hermione.)

No wonder!  ;-)  I'm sorry, but I don't think "locked up, barefoot 
and pregnant" could ever be used all at once to describe our Miss 
Granger in any plausible future scenario.  She'd probably punish the 
man who even thought about trying it by zapping him with some obscure 
curse, the effects of which probably couldn't be described in polite 
company.

Unless, of course, there is something in her character that would 
cause her to pull a post-canonical Anne on readers (Trina and Barbara 
know what I'm talking about).  That would really cause my poor teeth 
to be ground to powder.  It was one thing for a girl genius to throw 
in the towel at the turn of the last century... she had few career 
choices.  It's quite another for the smartest witch of her generation 
to sit at home knitting and baking cookies.

Anyone with me?  Disagree?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.

yet another thread to add to the Hermione FAQ  ;-))
