Which brings up another question. If the rules are laid out, and
one follows the rules, why then should one expect extra attention,
praise, rewards, pats on the head, or what have you for following
them? Following the rules is what is expected. Doing so should not
lead to higher recognition from the powers that be, whether we're
talking about the headmaster of a school or whatever version of a
god figure one wishes to follow.

vmonte:
Hermione is also someone who is fixated with rules. It's funny that 
she is very righteous towards others when she believes that they are 
doing wrong/breaking the rules, but then she also breaks the same 
rules herself.

For example:
She gets angry at Harry when she believes that he gave Ron the Felis 
Felix before the quidditch game, but has no qualms about helping Ron 
cheat to get into the team in the first place. 

It's funny how Harry never actually cheated--but Hermione did. 

I have a feeling that Hermione will forget about the "rules" in the 
next book and do something that no one believes can be done.
