I am suggesting that Hermione is a rather normal teenage girl. Girl 
and Boys at this age are new to liking each other. In your preteen 
years, you spend alot of energy hating the opposite sex. Suddenly, 
the opposite sex is very attractive to you. Now, what do you do?

It seems to me that you aren't around teenagers much. I have 5 of my 
own, plus I teach. I can tell you from experience that teenage girls 
are ruthless, much more so than boys, who are mostly clueless about 
everything.

I can tell you, I spend alot of time in my Math classes sorting out 
boy/girl troubles. I have had more than one intellectually superior 
girl coming to me crying because a boy has been mean to her by not 
noticing her. Actually, it is my experience that the smarter the girl 
the more creative she can be in her pursuit.

What is the most important event to a senior in High School? It is 
not graduation; it is the PROM. Getting the optimum date for the PROM 
takes up at least a month before the event.

Before you call something rubbish maybe you should think on reality. 
I love Harry Potter. It has been a boon to education. It has gotten 
children of all ages to read again. However, one of its strongest 
qualities has been that children see themselves in it. I don't want 
that gone.
