Don't be silly, without Hermione's curse that piece of filth called
Marietta would have spilled the beans in Umbridge's office, including
the fact that Harry was the leader and they had been meeting illegally
for many months. And this would have been long before Dumbledore could
help, it would have been long before Dumbledore even knew about it. As
it was Marietta's evil treachery caused Sirius's death and probably
many others. In the real world she would  not have gotten acne, she
would have gotten a bullet in the brain. And I would shed no tears
over her.    

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of revisionism, but this Marietta is
a hero and Hermione is a villain business just won't fly.
