Which means that Hermione is clearly bad.  She branded a girl's 
face.  I cannot see that being described as a "nice" action.  Ever.

We've also got Hagrid mocking Draco being attacked by a teacher, 
ergo, Hagrid is no longer good since that wasn't "nice" behavior.  
We've got Dumbledore knocking out those folks in his office so he 
could make his get-away, so he's bad now too.  We've got McGonagall 
demanding that her house shun Neville and never apologizing for her 
mistake (PoA), and also mocking Trelawney, so she's bad as well.

Let's see...  Ron makes fun of Moaning Myrtle.  Harry takes his 
frustration out on his cousin.  Arthur Weasley throws his son out of 
his house.  Molly Weasley openly shuns Hermione.  Ginny is mean to 
various folks.  All of the teachers in Hogwarts are less than nice 
to Umbridge.

My goodness, it looks like the entire Potterverse is populated 
by "not always nice so therefore not good" people.  According to the 
rules of karma, I guess Voldemort will win and the Potterverse will 
be destroyed. <vebg>
