> Hickengruendler:
This might be true, but Hermione didn't have much time to think of a 
plan. She had to save Harry, and she had to do it quickly. If she had 
waited a bit longer to make a better plan, than Harry could have 
joined Neville's parents in St. Mungo's. Besides, the centaurs told 
her, that they don't hurt foals, therefore Hermione had a reason to 
believe that she and Harry make it out of the forest unharmed. In the 
end she made a mistake in telling the centaurs that she used them. 
Therefore basically it was her honesty/big mouth that brought them 
into trouble, not the deed itself. And while telling the centaurs the 
>truth probably was very foolish, it wasn't immoral.


Alla:

You know what, I think you partially convinced me. As I said earlier 
I found it to be troubled to use somebody's hate as a weapon against 
somebody else, even if this person is Umbridge, BUT if I am to choose 
between Harry's insanity and Umbridge's insanity, I will certainly 
support Hermione's choice.

Nevertheless, Hermione is VERY smart young lady as we all know, can 
we be sure that she chose this plan only as last resort, or as 
revenge against Umbridge, because I do like leading Umbridge to Grawp 
instead as Pippin suggested.
