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. Since when did superbrain Hermoine turn 
into a touchy-feely armchair psychologist?

Now Me, Jana:
This reminds me of an interview I watched with JKR and the screenplay 
writer on disc two of Chamber of Secrets where she states that if she 
wants the reader to know anything she uses Hermione as her 
introduction character.  She has purposely introduced information to 
us by Hermione saying I read about it in Hogwarts, A History 
[paraphrasing] etc.  I think this is another example of that, for the 
younger generation of male readers that are not as experienced in the 
feelings of the female population.
