that the Trio won't go to Hogwarts in book 7 (at least not as 
students). Otherwise the whole set-up at the end of HBP would be 
pretty useless, and there is more than enough to do in book 7 
anything, therefore I think it's a wise decision from JKR to leave 
out the school routine. That means Hermione probably won't become 
Headgirl. I find this quite remarkable from her, to give up the post 
she fairly certain would have got, to help Harry.<

Really? Can you REALLY see Hermione not going back to school? Yes, I 
agree that Harry won't be a student at Hogwarts next year.  And Ron? 
Well, he never really was the academic sort.  But there needs to be 
a connection to Hogwarts - if not for sentimental reasons, then 
because Voldemort has a connection to Hogwarts, through the four 
founders and his remaining Horcruxes (That is, if we believe 
Dumbledore).  If Hermione goes back to school, she gets to be Head 
Girl - an authorative position giving her access to more places in 
the school than ordinary students - as well as Harry's accomplice.  
I think Harry would do well to make sure Hermione stays at school...
