And I'm saying that when you start branding other people on the  
face, you're slipping into a fairly horrifying place. At least,  IMO.

I don't think Hermione is the sweetest character I've ever met. I  
don't even think she's the sweetest character in Potterverse. (I 
think  Neville more fits that bill.) And I do refuse to discount 
Hermione's wrongs  in order to try and shoe-horn her in to "sweet 
character" status. Or to try  and force myself to like her.

Nikkalmati:
 
I think you are exaggerating a bit here.  She wasn't branded, she  developed 
zits.  Maybe Marietta should grow bangs (fringe)  <eg>.
I am puzzled why Cho stuck with her.  Was this just a way for JKR to  drive a 
wedge between Harry and Cho?  Surely Cho could have asked Harry to  get 
Hermione to lift the curse.  Maybe JKR is saving Marietta for a  redemption in Book 
7, at which point the zits will disappear as a sign of her  change of heart.
