Actually, I had the feeling there was a bit of ambition
involved for Hermione in this incident, not just perfect
nobility.

She very badly wanted to make this potion, no matter what,
and I *don't* believe it was just her noble wish to protect
the muggle-borns.
(And of course, JKR needed to let us know about the
possibilities of the Ployjuice potion <g>)

Drugging schoolmates is certainly not on my list of okay
things to do to your classmates, but I still believe what
Draco and friends did was much worse.
