Tonks now:

I do think that Hermione made a mistake. She was too trusting of her 
fellow students. I would have been much more careful, overly so. But 
as Valky says that would not have been very democratic. Maybe JKR 
meant for this to be a lesson.. if you are too trusting you will be 
sorry, but be trusting anyway. (Or maybe that is something that 
Wayne Dyer would say.) Maybe it foreshadows something to come later.. 
another more shocking betrayal. But even if Hermione made a mistake 
in trusting, I still don't think that she was wrong to put the Sneak 
spell on the offending member.
