GRR! My last message posted twice. Sorry about that. Anyway, I'll
add another random, almost unrelated thought.
The other thing to note about Hermione is she is very lawful, as well
as ethical. This lawfulness makes her naturally obedient. So the
Imperious Curse is something she might readily succumb to. But when
pressed to do something unethical, her morality might kick in and in
some ways it might be a much more interesting fight to see--her
lawfulness vs. her sense of morality--than, say, watching Harry
fight it, who is also ethical, but not as strictly lawful. This makes
it less of an inner conflict for him.
