This one is short, but I haven't seen it brought up before (so far, I'm 
fairly new)

Well, from Goblet one gets a strong sense that when she isn't being co-opted 
by Hagrid for legal research, or Harry for personal coaching (or lying in the 
infimary petrified by a Basilisk) she is hanging out with the Ravenclaws. 
There could be a whole little gaggle of them parked around the same table 
just about every evening in the library. 

After all, she can say with conviction that Mandy Brocklehurst is *really 
nice* (and that her acne is getting better). And she even halfway tries tries 
to fix Mandy up with Ron. (At least at the beginning of the year.)
