Katie:

I'm absolutely glad that JKR has made Luna someone that people 
giggle at and make fun of. People aren't just cruel to those like 
Snape; frequently children will exclude someone just because she/he 
is different from them. (Yes, I'm a bit sensitive about this, can 
you tell? :) 

Also, in my experience, people who are seen as "odd" and out of 
touch with reality are frequently the wisest. Sorry for using 
examples from my own life, but a friend of mine who remarkably 
resembles a grown-up Luna is probably the wisest and most mature 
person I know.

not Pretty!Popular!Cho.
