I dunno (maybe not evil, but like you say below, idiotic) - she did
make her a hypocrite. Not ministry approved, indeed! What you're
saying is basically because Hermione's the author's favorite character
/ "alter ego" / whatever, she can't have any flaws - you're
effectively asking for "Hermione Sue". When in reality, she has
already been shown to have flaws.

I think you're wrong in "betting" on this on that basis - you're
basically betting against the author's ability to write.
