Pansy Parkinson is a very minor character, yet she hasn't been 
brought to our attention as having imprisoned someone in a jar, or 
sent attack creatures after someone, or lectured anyone on how they 
should live their life, or demeaned a classmate's father's articles, 
or shoved her hand in the air time and time again to show everyone 
how much smart she is.  Pansy is just catty, with a pug face.  She 
adores a boy, but she is not acting particularly destructive over him 
or seeming to lie for him.  She might not be the nicest person, but 
she seems to have always had friends.  She comments on others' 
physical appearance, but apparently she isn't one to talk, which 
might even form some of her motivation, that and the fact that Draco 
has trouble with Hermione's besting him in class.  Her picking on 
Hermione probaby means she is either sticking up for Draco or is 
threatened by Hermione in some unacknowledged way.  I wouldn't 
automatically prefer Hermione to her, but I am not the author, who 
must perforce know her characters better than I do... right?

I kind-of like Millicent, by the way.  Go figure.
