Just my 2c:

This is not our usual world (and I don't mean the fact that this is wisard world). WW is at war. Relationships are developed fast and early in war, when 
life can be lost every day.

Her interviews show quite sizable ignorance of sales. I do believe that she writes - first of all - for herself.

Is he? He spent all nights just training to achive that position in the team. He happen to be , at least, as good as other two boys - Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas - to be chosen as Prefect.

She does not - check Divination - as subject and as experience - Ron can handle it, while she could not. She is more mature - yes, just as the most girls at that age are more mature than boys. But he will catch up.
