Alla:

I agree. I was one of those, who thought that Hermione's dealings 
with Rita WIll blow up in her face in OOP. Alas, JKR decided to let 
Hermione off the hook for now, but something is bound to blow up. To 
me, good intentions excuse A LOT, but definitely not everything.
On one hand, I like how Hermione dealt with Rita, because I doubt 
that adults would have dealt with it just as efficiently.

But I fully realise that hermione did not have the authority to do 
so. The question is though whether she had much choice int he matter.
