<<Hermione is good at *lots* besides school.  Besides, her being so good at 
school is itself against stereotype, >>
<snip>

Also, Hermione is't pretty. She has bushy hair and big teeth so she isn't 
the 'Cinderella' type of female character, either. You know what I mean, 
right, the kind of smart, bookish, non-attractive girl who is transformed 
into some sort of vamp because a boy/man decides to notice her and 'clean 
her up'.

Hermione is smart, she isn't pretty, and yet she gets romantic attention 
from Krum [and possibly Ron]. That part of the book made me grin like an 
asshole. Right on, JKR!

Sofie,
bookish and non-pretty, in case you hadn't guessed. <g>

- I could offer you a power beyond your wildest imagination, Potter.
- I don't want that kind of power.
- You're just afraid of it.
