 Hermione seems to be the most level-headed (other than 
Remus, ironically), her slapping Malfoy notwithstanding (she

I have noticed that while some people think it's sexist  that  
female characters like Hermione, McGonagall and Ginny often 
freeze or dissolve in tears when they feel threatened,  nobody's 
said it's sexist that JKR's male characters are often too ready to 
use their wands or fists.
