back, it's quite insufficiant, IMO. After all, in
their first year children had absolutely no idea what
they were, and eventially would be in future, up against.>>
   
  Yes, but Hermione's statement is mainly sentament. If Harry had said: "You had a chance to turn back but didn't. Now you have to come with me!" He would be bullying them into risking their lives for him. But JKR made sure he didn't say that. Hermione by stating that they had a chance to turn back and didn't is telling Hary that no matter what she won't leave him to his fate. She is volunteering to risk her life for Harry and Ron readily agrees; not only to protect Harry, but to protect Hermione.  
   
  They may have first risked their lives whne they were 11 and didn't understand what they were doing, but now they are older enough to be certain. 
   
  Ron and Hermione as portrayed by JKR are in danger anyway, even if they turned from Harry. What bothers me is that Harry seems to see the danger Ron, Hermione and Ginny are in; but why does he have such a blind spot when it comes to Neville and Luna. They were with him at the Dept of Mysteries too, but his friendship is still developng with those two. I have a feeling JKR has something big planned with Neville and Luna in book 7 and it may not be good for those char. It maybe why she keep their roles so small in book6, so she can hammer us with what she is going to do with them.  
   
  Though she nade sure Neville still acted as a hero again; even if his part was small!
