  I agree that Marietta believes what she did was right, but betraying her "friends" was very wrong.  I do not agree with Hermiones choice not to reverse the hex once things were finished, however, Hermione was probably still very upset that the group was betrayed.  I am not sure what teenage girl would have reversed it.  Girls can be and always will be vindictive when pushed to betrayal point.

  Please don't take this the wrong way, but... having acne isn't the end of the world.  Hermione could have done way worse than putting "sneak" across the snitchs (in this case Mariettas) face.  And it can be cured by going to the hex wing of the hospital.  I am VERY sure that the healers there can and will take care of the problem.  After all.. they healed Arthur Weasley.  Took time, but they did it.  Certainly they can get rid of the "acne" created by a hex of a teenager.
