Amen to that! And don't forget that she's willing to stand against her
best friends for what *she* thinks is right (Scabbers, Firebolt
Incidents). That is something that I rarely see people do nowadays. I
know I would have a hard time opposing my friends if they took a
radically different viewpoint from me on an issue. That girl is
definitely not intimidated. I mean, who else would take on tons of
extra classes and live longer than 24 hour days? I imagine that
McGonagall probably tried to talk her out of it/tried to reason with
her. I can just imagine her answer. "Oh, but Professor, there's so much
to know! If only I could take all these classes to be better
prepared..."

In summary, Hermione is a powerhouse of will; nobody get in her way,
she'll mow you down! <pumps triumphant fist in the air>
