Jim:
> I see Hermione as one of the few people who would be past 
all that.  I believe she knows Harry better than perhaps any of his 
contemporaries, and accepts him completely for who he is.  
She's very clear on what she believes, and if he's worshipped or 
reviled, he's the same Harry as far as she's concerned. She 
depends on nobody else for what she thinks.<<

Maybe what people think isn't important to Hermione. But it's very 
important to Harry. His fear of failure, and of being seen to fail,
is intense. Let me put it this way. Once Voldemort is defeated, do 
you think Harry would want to live on in the wizarding world if his 
powers or his reputation were lost beyond recall?

I think he would rather go back to the Muggle world than have to 
live in the magical world without magic, or if he  was "stained" as 
Ebony put it. 

 But do you think Hermione would want to live as a Muggle if that 
was the only way she could be with him, or is her life as a witch 
more important to her? May she be spared such a choice! But I 
haven't yet heard from anyone who thinks Hermione would be 
the ideal match for Harry under such circumstances. Yet why not, 
if love is all that matters?
