I totally agree.  My reasoning goes back to OOP, Chapter 14.  Ron 
gets an owl from Percy - in the common room, late at night.  Red 
flag.  This never happened before, to our knowledge.  Ron is so 
ticked at what his brother has written that he tears the parchment 
to pieces and tosses it into the fireplace - after Harry and 
Hermione have read it.  Hmmm.  Now another very unusual thing 
happens.  Hermione VOLUNTEERS to correct/finish Harry and Ron's 
homework for them?  What?  Our Hermione doing their work? Again, 
something that has never happened before.



sherry now:
As far as I remember, I've always had the impression that Hermione has
helped the boys with their homework.  She won't allow them to copy her work,
but she will look over what they do in their homework and help with it.  in
fact, her not helping in OOTP was unusual.  As for her reaction to Percy's
letter, that just seemed to me to be her natural anger and concern on Ron
and Harry's behalf, nothing more intriguing or sinister than that.
