I have to agree with you, CV, was Hermione's purpose really to find
out the informant? Surely something that actually alerted her
immediately would have been more useful, Hermione could have jinxed
those coins she gave them. That said, I think, taking into account
the wizarding world morality, putting the SNEAK curse on the
parchment was not evil. Think of Unbreakable Vows, Marietta is a
witch, she should understand that in the WW you don't just break
promises like that.
