Well, my head's a bit in a whirl from that, but I think I'm starting 
to see the broader pattern, here, at least.  I don't really have a 
whole lot to comment on at this point except for one thing:

You wondered if Hermione had girlfriends with whom she talked, and it 
seems like she does, although a bit out of sight to Harry.  I found 
it curious that the girls in her year (and thus presumably her room-
mates) Parvati and Lavender had no idea she had been asked to the 
dance by Krum, yet Ginny seemed to know.  I think there's been 
a "secret" -- in the sense that we haven't been shown it -- rather 
close friendship between those two developing for a number of years 
now.
