Its not as if she is a tomboy either. But I do think she is the kind
of person (male or female) who would be excluded from some peer
rituals because they are aware enough to be self-conscious and
therefore are seen as a threat by the conventional.
In PoA isnt there a brief cameo where she, Molly Weasley and Ginny
are in a giggly group as Molly recalls love potions she used as a
girl... ?? Suggests she has soem interactiosn Harry et all ames are
not aware of...
We do get a very partial view of Hogwarts from seeing it as Harry POV
centred... and one consequnece is that the Heidi effect also seems to
be in operation.
Heidi some will recall went right through a series of books from
childhood to young adulthood without having a period. Since part of
the theme there is growing up after a fashion this is a little
strange..
