Amiable Dorsai:
Other than deducing that students were being petrified by a basilisk,
that Harry's Firebolt was most likely sent to him by Sirius Black (She
simply misunderstood his motives), that Lupin was a werewolf, and that
Rita was an Animagus.

Not to mention realizing that there was another way to get Harry's
story out than through the Daily Prophet, and that she had the perfect
reporter to use.

And, of course, there's her creation of Dumbledore's Army, when most
people would probably have settled for private tutoring from Harry.

We should probably also notice her spur-of-the-moment inspiration for
preventing Umbridge from using the Cruciatus on Harry (Not a perfect
plan, but she *was* winging it.)

Other than that, I agree, there's little evidence of creative thought
on Hermione's part.
