Oh, I don't know Hickengruendler,  to me Hermione was by far the 
least likable member of the Trio in HBP, but after all I freely 
admit that she IS my least favorite member of the Trio, period.  In 
fact, I think sometimes that I only like her because these three do 
so well together, as three friends. And it is not like she has some 
huge character flaws, she is a good loyal person, it is just her 
bossiness puts me off SO much.

And I think her attacking Ron with birds was appaling too. It is 
funny, I think JKR commented that Ron had to make himself worthy of 
Hermione in HBP. Personally, I happen to think that Hermione was not 
doing worthy things at all in that book. Ron did not make her any 
promises, they are just sixteen and going and assaulting him because 
she was jealous, IMO , well it was not nice at all.

JMO,
