I read that fiction and it gave me chills (It deals pretty bluntly 
with Hermione's ambition). What an intriguing concept you have 
brought up!

I must admit, I never thought of Hermione - or her ambition - in a 
bad way. Some have said that the author never does the obvious thing. 
Maybe Hermione (instead of Ron) will be the one to go to the "dark 
side" due to jealousy, since she would have been the class star if it 
weren't for Harry. It would certainly be a twist that no one is 
expecting. 

So far, I don't think we've seen any evidence of that, but there are 
three more books to come...

I still have the cold chills...brrrr...

Just wondering (and now cold),
