Pippin:
Oy :)
I am not arguing that Hermione is Voldemort in the making. She
might be Crouch Sr in the making, as cruel and ruthless as any
DE. I thoroughly expect her to turn from that path, but right now
that is where some of her choices are taking her, IMO. Why
*did* she act alone in hexing the parchment? Was it that she
didn't trust Harry or Ron? Or did she think Ron would object,
as he objected to her attempt to trick the House Elves. 'They
should at least see what they're picking up.' 

When has Dumbledore used scare tactics against anyone? He
bends over backwards to avoid even the appearance of coercing
people. I thought that was one of your objections to him.
