I absolutely love this idea! Hermione has been taking this seemingly 
pointless(to Ron and Harry) class that no one else in the canon seems 
to be taking. I think it would be perfect if this Rune literacy of 
hers ends up being a huge help in the search of the horcruxes. It
also 
reinforces my personal opinion that Ron and Hermione will be 
neccessary to Harry's mission. I believe that the 7th book will work 
out a kind of ring composition that will have all 3 freinds playing
an 
important role in the defeat of LV, just like we saw in SS. That will 
be perfect from a literary standpoint to highlight everyhting they 
have learned. Also it seems to me after the Cave chapter, many of 
these horcruxes may be set up so that a single person, no matter how 
gifted(Dumbledore) won't be able to retreive them. I actually feel 
that Ron or Hermione might be required to actually destroy LV. I can' 
really base this on canon, but those of you who have read or seen
LOTR 
will know what I mean. Sorry this was kind of long and I hope I am 
following all the rules.
