Hmmmm..yes obviously, in book one, hermione is trying to order
everyone around, deciding on things, yes, bossy (from the female 
cow)......

But later on..do adolescent females 14 plus get typed as "bossy"
when they are really just being assertive and clear?

They're supposed to turn into sweet whimpering willows..oh, Viktor,
you are SO wonderful, so when they are clear and assertive they are 
called "bossy"?

Shrew/Shrewd..etc.
