AmanitaMuscaria now :
As other people have said, for the humour and to let people know 
Hermione isn't infallible ... BUT I find it a bit suspicious that she 
has the time-turner in PoA, the very next book. So I assume that 
during the time she spent isolated in the hospital wing, she proved 
her abilities of self-reliance, motivation, and grit to the extent 
that she was allowed a 'privilege' (to nearly have a breakdown with 
the time-turner) that I guess very few adults in the WW get, much 
less teenagers.
Cheers. AmanitaMuscaria
