Laura:

Well, gee, sarcasticmuppet, then I guess you may as well stop reading 
now.  I believe that in trying to start a liberation movement, 
Hermione would qualify as both a liberal and even a hippie, since 
freedom, dignity and equality of all people are basic tenets of their 
philosophies.  In fact, you might be suspicious of JKR herself-she's 
showing definite anti-authoritarian tendencies...

If you don't approve of homosexuality, liberalism, abortion or 
hippies (whatever it is you mean by that) and want to flame about it, 
I'd suggest respectfully that this list is not the place for that.  I 
find your gratuitous comments offensive.
