I agree with her assessment that Hermione is unlikely to do so if the 
circumstances entail her - *betraying* as in handing Harry over to 
Voldemort - (meira q).

 However I think Hermione has an Archille's heel.

 Crouch-as-Moody has in all likelihood passed on some intelligence.
 - She has a pre-disposition to seeing everyone as innoncent until 
proven guilty, a lovely personality trait but...........
 - "Harry needs her desperately", a J.K. Rowling chat, a fact we all 
know and certain shipper's subscibe to. ;)
 - Her independant sometimes headstrong nature towards things she 
cares deeply about.

 I think a betrayal may be a concerned sharing of a secret or 
weakness of Harry's to the wrong confidante, perhaps for some 
reassurance.

 I then think her resulting isolation from two furious friends may 
leave her vunerable to further manipulation.

 I don't think Hermione's status as a muggle would protect her.

 J.K.Rowling was quoted on Oprah as confirming muggles would get 
involved in some way in the war. (Lisa apologises for hear-say).
 I can see Voldemort briefly compromising his pure-blood stance for 
what he considers to be a brilliant tactical manoeuvre.
 Upping his numbers via some clever propaganda or even Imperious.
 He wouldn't call them cannon-fodder or human-shields to their face. 

 However I do *not* think Hermione is stupid enough to become a death-
eater. 
( A trifle hurt that people think *I'm* that stupid) :) 

Lisa, (who loves Hermione so much she almost bought a female Hermione 
to go with her bunnies Harry and Ron before the pet shop owner 
said "You may own a thesaurus but did you even read the manual I sold 
you?)

I also love this group, (breathes easier for Hermione after sucessful 
debunking of ridiculous wand theory).
