"Amiable Dorsai:
Marietta nearly got six other Ravenclaws expelled or worse. Do 
you think it's possible that those Ravenclaws (except for Cho) 
are just a little unhappy with her?

Also, in Hogwarts terms, Hermione is the equivalent of a 6'-5"
fullback (for those of you who think footballs are spherical,
fullbacks are chosen to be big enough and strong enough to 
block or knock down other players). Pretty much any Hogwarts 
student (well, except Ron)is going to think twice about pissing 
off someone who can hit back as hard as Hermione can.

A Ravenclaw will probably think three times."



I guess in American HS terms, the Griffindors would be the 
Jocks, the Ravenclaws the Nerds, and the Slytherins the Socs, 
while the Hufflepuffs would be those who couldn't get into any 
of the cliques?
