But that would mean that Hermione is a craven traitor, because she
wouldn't even *discuss* exploiting these possibilities. She did not
stop or tried to stop, or think of trying to stop elves'
self-punishment. Next time Kreacher does something to warrant it (in
his opinion) he would inflict it upon himself enthusiastically. Harry,
if he happens to be nearby, will stop it, of course, but then he would
have stopped it anyway. Even is he still loathed him he would stop it.
But that won't change anything for Kreacher, because this is exactly
the pattern that has been going on for generations. What did Hermione
do to stop it? When did she indicate that she might do anything to
stop once she has sorted out more pressing matters?
