I also think that Hermione is a great Heroine for young girls. She
tells girls that being studious and smart are cool. When I was young,
every book I read and movie I saw had the female lead falling in the
forest during a chase scene. And the female lead would often need to
be rescued by the male hero. Hermione, thank goodness, is not like
that. And even though she is not the lead of the story, the HP books
would suffer without her presence.

I was just sent a personal email message by a HPFGUPS member who 
used an invalid return address so that I could not respond back.

Dear "he/she who must not be named,"
I'm sorry that you feel that women are weak and that the majority of
men (unlike women) are able to keep their composure in dangerous
situations. I'm also sorry that I started laughing when you mentioned
that Ron and Harry were more accustomed to dangerous situations than
Hermione. And I love how you describe women as (innately?) more
emotional. Well, what can I say except that Snape must be just one
big gal in drag then. Lastly, you end your email by saying that you
are ready for some slaps in the face by me. Well guess what, I'm too
composed for that, although a valid return address would help.

Happy New Year!
