Ffi here,
Hermione does seem to know the answer to almost everything - 
including emotions (she interprets cho's exact reaction for Harry 
each time) - but this can be put down to a girl-=thing,a s the book 
is written from a boy's perspective!  And she does always ang Harry 
to do the thing he really ought to do, e.g get on with occlumency, 
not believe his dreams, not reak into Umbridge's office.  
Is there anything she doesn't know the right answer to?  I look 
forward to her losing the plot over something - something more than 
failing exams!  
but she is good for H/R, giving a female perspective.

As for flying, it showed in PS that she wasn't at all confident as 
the broom woudln't rise up to her command as it mistrusted her.
