Now Joj:

I think Hermione has many secrets. She is based on JKR (who I bet is a
fantastic poker player) after all. We know Hermione can keep a secret like
nobody's business (time-turner, Lupin is a werewolf, Krum as her date,
ect.).

JKR has kept many things about Hermione a mystery.  We don't know what she
decided on in career counseling.  I don't believe we know one detail of her
childhood (reactions when she got her letter, how her parents felt, what
kind of accidental magic she did).  We don't know who she has romantic
feelings for (Harry, Ron, Krum, Lupin, somebody else) if anybody.

JKR has kept her a mystery for a reason.  She also was elevated in status
and importance in Harry's life, IMO, in OoP.  I think BIG things are in
store for our little Hermy.

I think it will have something to do with house-elves or with her feelings
for Harry.  (Oops, my shipping is showing)
