I don't see why Hermione should have to (or be expected to) change 
tack...she is who she is: a know-it-all and I, for one, love her for 
it.

That's not to say, of course, she doesn't have some growing up to 
do.  But her view of the world is just as valuable as the next 
character's.  That being said: I don't think we'll have to worry 
about her: I suspect she'll learn enough life lessons, either at 
Hogwarts, or beyond, to help keep that egocentric streak of hers 
fully checked and balanced.  

And let us not forget the Weasley Factor: as long as Ron continues to 
be somewhat of a foil-challenge to her, she'll always have someone 
around to remind her she's not 'all-that.' :) 

Sorry if this reply isn't in-depth and/or SPEW-specific enough, but 
I'm new here and this is my first post: I think I'd like to dip a toe 
in before taking a big plunge. :)

Happy to be here,
Helene
