I recently reread SS and am currently rereading OotP (this group has 
inspired me to pull them out again!). I have been wondering, if 
Hermione was muggle born and raised, then why does she flinch at 
Voldemort's name like those raised in the WW? 


I (Tiffany) says: 

I would have to agree with what everyone else is saying about it 
being a learned behavior. Unless it was a mistake on JK's part. This 
is probably just from the movie and I don't have the book to tell me 
so bear with me. In SS/PS when the trio came back from there detention 
in the forbidden forest. Hermione says Voldemort's name clearly without 
fault. Maybe I am wrong, if so please correct me. 


Ellen says:

I wouldn't put it past her to have taught herself. She's a fast 
learner, and I can see her burying her nose in the books the instant 
she brought them home. I can see her experimenting with her wand and 
trying out the magic in "Standard Book of Spells, Grade One". That's 
very believable to me. 


I (Tiffany) Says: 

My only problem with that concept of trying them out herself wouldn't 
there be a problem with MoM. I means students aren't suppose to do 
magic outside of school, are they? Or did I miss something? I know 
accidental magic isn't a big deal but that would be a real deal though.  
Can someone clarify?
