        The bringing up of Hermione's close friendship with HR 
brought a new question to my mind. Why exactly did she essentially 
shadow Harry? Even before the incident with the troll she showed in 
inordinate level of interest in Harry. Was it simply because of his 
fame? Was it an intelectual interest- wanting to learn how LV was 
defeated by Harry as a baby? She seemed to have appointed herself as 
Harry's concience very early on. We have several examples. At the 
flying lessons it is she who tells Harry not to go after Malfoy. Was 
this JUST her aversion to rule breaking or something more? She makes 
a point to comment on Harry's new firebolt, just happening to be in 
HR's path when they are bringing it up to the dormitory. Did anyone 
else notice this? (If this has already been discussed I apologize.)

  -Linda...Would Essential Shadow be a good band name?
