The Death Eaters Are Off Their Game?

[Richard Parker]

No: HPFGUIDX 71778

Actually, the only one the death eaters tried to kill outright in the battle 
was Hermione, but her 'silencio' curse saved her. Why Hermione? Perhaps it was 
because she is muggle born? Or seen as the most dangerous? Maybe the death 
eaters didnt think ROn and Neville were much of a threat?  Another theory could 
be that fatal curses require a lot of energy and they didn't want to expend too 
much too early just in case Dumbledore crashed the party.
