OoP: Hermione

Hi everyone! My name is Michal and I've been obsessed with these 
books forever, even if I've only just found this wonderful group. I 
tried to post a few times the other day, but my posts were 
undeliverable. I think the problem is solved now, so I'm trying my 
hand at a question about Hermione :)

Rowling mentioned in an interview that she doesn't like that people 
are never concerned about Hermione. She thinks Hermione has a lot of 
vulnerablity. Well, I was just wondering. When Harry talks about the 
room of requirement, Hermione is worried about it until the moment 
Harry mentions that Dumbledore knows about it, at which point 
Hermione no longer argues at all.

I think, especially in light of the end of OoP (we find that 
Dumbledore can, in fact, make mistakes), that we should watch 
Hermione carefully, as her willingness to follow Dumbledore blindly 
might cause a problem for her at some point. I don't know what kind 
of problem it could cause, and I'm by no means claiming that 
Dumbledore could be evil (NOT a theory I believe), but I do think 
it's dangerous that such a clever girl doesn't seem to be able to 
question Dumbledore. I mean, yes, it's good that she is able to 
question other authority (Umbridge, Fudge, etc.), but she thinks 
Dumbledore is infallible, and that worries me.

I'd love to hear other people's thoughts about this, although I know 
it's hard to reply to all the threads going on here! :)

Thanks for reading,
Michal
