Caipora:
One of the most puzzling aspects of romance if not sex in Rowling is 
Hermione's cool explanations of how girls behave in OotP. Her 
demeanor has an air of "been there, done that, got the T-shirt" but 
her only romantic relationship we know of is with Viktor, and that 
seem largely epistolary. How does she know so well how other girls 
behave? She's given to spells, but in a different sense than other 
girls. So how does she know?

Taryn:
Most of the girls I know with any bit of observation and common sense know how girls their age act. /I/ knew what Harry did on his date with Cho was ridiculously stupid, and I'm a 16-year-old female who's never had a relationship in high school. But I can sure tell you how girls my age act, and certainly could've told Harry what he did wrong on the date.
