zgirnius:
First, sorry, I do not recall either whether it was Ginny or Hermione. 
But I think we really can't conclude from this interaction much about 
how Hermione values Fleur as a person or as a witch. What I think this 
scene is about is Ron. Hermione (quite naturally) is irked that Ron is 
so obviously and strongly affected by Fleur's physical attractions. 
This is the same Ron who claimed only to notice that Hermione was a 
girl when he so desperately needed a date in GoF for the Yule Ball.

(I do agree with you about Merope-hence the snipping...)
