Hi
if youre saying (as i think you are, correct me if im wrong) that 
Hermione simply coiped the idea of the dark mark in the same way as 
Harry copied the instructions from the HBP, i think there is a major 
difference.
She actually took a concept and reapplied it in a totally new 
situation where she had to cme up with the mechanics and work out the 
logistics all by herself. Isn't that what real intelligence is all 
about, taking an idea and adapting it to a different purpose? She 
definetly didnt copy anything (unless she got in touch with Voldy and 
asked him for directions:) and she changed the mechanics majorly 
(from skin to coins). I think that is ample proof of her ability to 
innovate.

yes wrong example. Actually the above example would have been a 
better one. She obviously didnt invent the spell (or charm, i never 
know which is which) but she adapted it to her need.

Regarding Fred and George, absolute geniuses, no argument. Im sure 
their inventions are going to play a bigger role in the final war.
