I for one am very curious about Hermione in general.  Does anyone else
remember Rowling saying somewhere that she took the name from
Shakespeare's A Winter Tale and that we should read that play if we
wished to understand important things about the book.  IN that play,
it happens that a  Queen Hermione is wrongly accused of something and
'dies'.  then it turns out that she is not dead at all.
