Jim-

Nice post on Hermione's transformation. I'd have to agree with 
you...besides her I'd have to say Neville is a close second. His 
turn around in OotP is really exciting and I'm so intrigued to see 
where he goes from there.

I second that!! Even beyond the Head Masters...with Sirius' 
mothers portrait being able to react and speak (the first outside 
Hogwarts paintings we've seen)....I'm wondering if  that's the 
only portrait of her....does she move as well? 

We know in PoA that any portrait or paintings can move from one 
to another inside Hogwarts. The Fat Lady can leave and visit 
friends or visa versa. But it appears the HeadMasters have to 
have another portrait hanging elsewhere for them to move into in 
order to leave (Or maybe just leaving Hogwarts grounds. Maybe 
they can move between paintings inside Hogwarts).....Couldn't 
Dumbledore already have a portrait of himself at Hogwarts? I 
know most authority figures have their portraints taken while 
they're in office. I mentioned this in my first post to the 
board....Did DD have another portrait of himself at Godric's 
Hollow? So he could witness the events that happened to Lily 
and James the night of the attack?
