Well of course she should have done that, but is it reasonable to 
expect her to actually do so under those circumstances? Several 
students demonstrated a lack of enthusiasm and a few did so quite 
vocally, but unlike some others Marietta never said anything nasty, 
she just frowned a few times. What do you expect Hermione to do, 
say "Marietta you frowned, I hear by banish you! Be Gone !" 
Be honest now, when you first read about the meeting in the 
Hog's Head did you immediately think Marietta was the most
dishonest of the bunch? I didn't.

OK, that is a valid criticism.
