I agree with Amber on this one. I don't think Hermione gave her 
muggle-born status any thought at all, other than being proud of it. 
Her parents are both dentists and here she is a witch at Hogwarts... 
too cool! I don't even think she knew that it was a concern until 
Draco pointed it out to her at the Quidditch Cup, when he told her to 
go hide or she could be next. Even then, it didn't seem to bother her 
as much as it did Harry & Ron. IIRC, she has made no mention of 
feeling inferior or having to try harder because of her muggle status.
