Alla:

Yes, but you were rejecting the idea which I was not arguing :) So, I 
am not sure where you are getting this idea from. YES, I agree with 
you - the fact that Hermione is author alter ego does not mean that 
she is not flawed.

What it does mean to me is that she will not turn evil - she can be  
rude, reckless, annoying, anything - I am just not sure that JKR will 
make her alter ego the servant of Voldemort,that's all.

Am I any clearer now? Too bad I cannot find my original message with 
Yahoo stupid threading system, but I thought I was saying the only 
thing there - that Hermione will not turn evil, and even on that I can 
be wrong of course.

JMO,

Alla
