Sure.
Maybe, if Harry hadn't locked the door, Hermione could have
escaped without help.

Harry and Hermione might have never become friends, either,
if Ron hadn't gotten angry at Hermione, making her go and
cry in the bathroom, therefor giving Harry the chance to
remember her <g>.

Or what if JKR had written Hermione less pushy and/or
sensitive?
Then she might not have felt the need to snap at Ron, and
let the teacher correct him instead.

Or she might have not run off to the bathroom, and written
in her diary.

But I suspect Hermione would have not been able to keep
away from Harry and Ron in any case.
She was very interested in joining them from the beginning.
Something would have come up...

The point is, JKR wanted all *three* of them to be
friends, not just Harry and Hermione, or Ron and Harry,
so if it hadn't happened that way, she would have
come up with another :)
