imamommy:
If you don't mind me quoting myself, a wrote this a couple of posts 
ago:
An aside: for all those who thought Hermione was too perfect, what 
about her lack of understanding of how important Quidditch is to a 
lot of people? Sure, she understands female emotion, she even 
understands a lot about human nature in general, but she seems    
pretty clueless about guy stuff. She gives Ron a really hard time, 
and, yeah, he can be a bit of a jerk, but I don't think she really 
gets him, you know? She's also not very understanding about how Harry 
is feeling through a lot of the book, and while I think it was good 
that she helped them become more independant in terms of schoolwork, 
those homework planners were a *lame* Christmas gift. 

So I'm going to agree with myself, and say that Hermione is not 
perfect;)
