Oh, she was wrong about that, no doubt about that for me. In fact 
someone recently said that  Hermione was emotionally immature in 
PoA, Ron in GoF and Harry in OOP. I happen to agree with that.

I am not letting her off the hook. She did not show any compassion 
to Ron, who clearly loved Scabbers.


I was referring to Harry not talking to her after she told 
McGonagall about Firebolt.

Ummm, if you ever read my posts about Occlumency you know that I 
definitely consider Snape and Dumbledore to be at fault for that 
disaster.

I don't think Snape did a good job teaching Harry, I do think he was 
supposed to continue the lessons regardless, etc.

BUT Harry violated his privacy (I can come up with many many 
justifications for it - including the fact that he only wanted to 
know about that stupid room in MOM, not about Snape's past - it is 
still WRONG in my book)
