Wow. I respect your choice, but this is something I would never be able to understand. What if Hermione was drafted in the army, thus having no choice whatsoever in the matter, would your choice still be the same?

You would rather keep your memories of the child who will be dead because of your choice than to give them up to keep her alive?

Do you really think that Hermione had much choice in the matter by the way?

Oh granted she could not resist Voldemort, this is a choice too, but if she did not want to let evil maniac to take over?

I mean certainly she made some choice, but I guess to me this is the only choice decent person could made and for that her parents will punish her with increasing chances of her death?
