Chuckle.  True, all too true.  :-)

Actually, I was thinking that Hermione deserved a smack in the 
mouth -- or actually a good telling off -- from Harry and Ron -- and 
she REALLY needs one from Harry on a couple of occasions in OOTP 
(her arrogant reaction to McGonagall taking points, the "saving 
people thing" comment). 

Oh, I've never been an advocate of non-violence.  The creative 
application of brute force has solved many of the world's problems.  
I am an advocate of non-violence (both physical and emotional) from 
an adult to a child, it is true.  But in this case we're talking 
about inter-child relations, where violence is often a very 
appropriate thing (I am of course joking about the smack in the 
mouth, but I most heartily approve of Harry beating Draco into a 
quivering, whimpering pulp).
