But I do believe Hermione can grow - I think she has the composure to 
develop into a good public speaker, for example, and with the years 
to become a bit less shrill and perfectionistic. Or she could just 
get worse in those regards. It's hard to say, because she's 16 at the 
moment, and probably looking at a very trying few years. I think how 
she weathers them will be critical to the woman that she ends up.

JKR said she fashioned Hermione after herself . .  a young "know-it-all".
look what JKR became --- a writer, and she learned not to be shy as publicity 
about her and speaking engagements increased.
So I do see Hermione maturing into a great lobbyist, politician or 
humanitarian speaker, she just needs some growing to do.
