Well, I don't think she's that thoughtless.  In a way, she's in the
same boat as Harry.  Harry charges into dangerous places to do that
saving-people-thing because he's used to doing it and his experience
gives him little reason to trust adults (and in OOTP all the
sympathetic adults were off-site at the climax).

Hermione takes charge on the values front because she's spent five
books coming up with sound, practical ideas and being the values-guru
of the Trio.  She's conditioned to follow her own ethical instincts
by this time.
