I just want to comment on Hermione being angry if this was done to 
her and her friends. I am thinking about my reaction as someone who 
as you know certainly thinks that Draco deserves certain things and 
more done to him because he is Draco ;)

But if something like that was done to Trio, namely spying on them 
and polijuicing them in the name of catching a murderer, a **real 
murderer** with no real physical harm done, believe me, I would not 
be angry for one second, so incredibly harmless I consider this 
adventure and of course I cannot imagine Harry and Ron taking 
drugged cupcakes, floating in the midair ( as Bruce said, that 
should raise a bell even in WW and they are IMO too suspicious for 
that, although cetainly hungry enough, hehe), but if they would, I 
would find that incredibly funny and well executed too.

So, yeah, Hermione gets A+ for this one from me, what I do find more 
interesting as I said is apparently that JKR does not give her a 
pass - turning her into cat, etc.

I think she is saying that while it was breaking rules with good 
intentions, the consequences have to be suffered too, I think 
Hermione as cat symbolises consequences.

IMO,
