Sawsan here: 
I doubt it Kathy. Luna is pretty strange, but I don't think she is
evil. She just believes in things that have not been proven, which
always provokes Hermione into some sort of argument about how it
couldn't be true etc. SO the scene at the veil is probably another of
Hermione's rantings of how Luna is ludicrous, or perhaps Hermione
feels that the veil could be dangerous and wanted to pull as many of
her friends away from it before they got too drawn into it. Hermione
cannot hear the voices apparently, but she couldn't see thestrals
either; so that proves that perhaps Luna knows about stuff that just
isn't written in books. Yeah I think she can go overboard, but that
doesn't mean she's a complete nutter. I think that she is quite used
to death, and therefore doesn't fear it at all. She seems to have made
peace with death after her mother, but she has hope of seeing her
again. She has something in common with Harry that Hermione and Ron
don't, so I think she will be a person he will turn to when he needs
some answers about the unknown; or perhaps she will be someone he can
talk to about loss and death; as Billy Crystal says; its a process.
