Yes, I haven't checked, but I presume that this refers to the Boggart 
scene, as Heidi mentions.  I did think, however, that this was a 
mistake and had been corrected.  Don't ask me where I got this from, 
I have absolutely no idea.  Anyone else heard it or am I labouring 
under a delusion?

Yes, you're right.  Having said that, wasn't that because Harry made 
it clear that he wanted to talk to Ron and Hermione alone (was it 
about what Mr Weasley had just told him about Sirius Black?)  He 
says, "I want to talk to you in private."  I am not, therefore 
surprised that Hermione put Harry's need for privacy first and didn't 
rebuke Ron for his rudeness.
