Uh, Hermione provides the cold calculation? The girl who is grieved by 
the plight of the House Elves? The girl who sits besides Ron's bedside 
white faced and jaw clenched? 
   
  Joe: But not agrieved enough to do anything beyond annoy her fellow classmates. Let's remember here, she is the one coming from outside the Wizard culture and she is telling them how their cultural traditions are wrong. Just like the swoty little know it all she is. But her indignation only goes so far. She doesn't leave the school. She doesn't stop sleeping in her House Elf made bed. She cares about them but doesn't mind reaping the fruits of their labor. She seems to have forgotten most of that by HBP as well.

Susan :Ron is SO immature..I don't quite know what Hermione sees in him...
First, he behaves abysmally at the Yule Ball, ignoring his date to 
drool over another girl (and he doesn't even have the insight to 
understand that he is in the throes of jealousy).

He totally misjudges his best friend (Harry)and makes him miserable 
while Harry is struggling to survive in the Tri Wizard tournament.

Hermione asks him to Slughorn's party. He gets SO bent out of shape 
because he hears from Ginny that Hermione has kissed Viktor...that he
runs off to snog Lavendar. He has NO interest in Lavender as a person -
- actually he just uses her to get sexual experience -- and uses her 
to inflate his own ego.
   
  Joe: Surely you mean in your opinion? Because I don't think we ever get a look inside Ron's head regarding the entire issue. As we have said before there are those who don't know what he sees in Hermione. If your most damning complaint is that a 14yr old(GOF) acted immature then I think that is hardly surprising.

Susan:Oh, well, I guess the sexist would say "boys will be boys", but God 
forbid my son should ever act that badly.
   
  Joe: Sorry but it is almost a certainty that your son will act in similar manner at some point. If we are being honest almost all of us have acted immaturely and hurt people's feelings. I am certain I have and not just as a child either. I suspect you have done the same as no one is perfect. Making mistakes(or percived ones) is as much a part of development as making the correct choices.

Susan:I have NO clue what Hermione sees in him.

Joe: I can see that. The thing is though that it is probable you have been in a relationship and people have wondered what you did to deserve the person you were with, vise versa more than likely as well. What people outside of a relatinship think is meaningless.
