Because this board is made of adults you may all be forgetting what 
it's like to be a 16 year old girl. I'm 18 and remember very well 
what life was like two years ago. In the world of teenagers, Ron 
and Hermione had an understanding that pretty much labels them "a 
couple". You notice that Lavender looks sulky a few times when 
Hermione comes around, before Ron and Lav hook up. Hermione and Ron 
both *knew* what they were to each other. Lavender even knew. It's 
not like Hermione caused Ron serious injury. She just let him know 
that she saw what was going on and that it was not okay. 

Another thing to remember before saying that Hermione is over-
judgmental and takes things into her own hands too often, is that 
this is war. This is life or death. This isn't a typical high school 
life, she is saving people and trying to keep people who are less 
than helpful out of the way. All is fair in Love and War. Hermione 
is good in my book.
