She would, of course, have to find a way to persuade them without offending them."

We see her make these mistakes both in her approach to the house elves and in her dealings with the centaurs.

But really, why would Hermione waste such a good, analytical mind and tax herself with the rigors, and duplicity of  political life?  Wouldn't it be better and lots more interesting to see her exploit her talents?  It would also be a much more interesting device if JKR placed her with the Unspeakables, giving us a chance to see what they are really up to, and a much more involved and interesting and involved plot.
