Don't thank me. I'm like you -- I want to know where she is -- and I'm a bit 
worried about her. I think she's a great character and like you, I think she's 
going to be more important. (JKR hasn't intro'd too many new unimportant 
characters with a whole chapter of their own......)

But y'know, till the heliopaths start marching to the Hogwarts gates, or Hagrid 
reveals that he's raising a crumple-horned snorkack in his back garden, I 
reckon most folk aren't going to take her very ...ummm... seriously. (There's a 
lot of excuse for that, IMHO -- those lion- and eagle-head chapeaux do tend to 
be somewhat off-putting..... )
