Shelley:

Steve, I agree 100% with your assessment of Trelawney, but not about
Hermione picking the time and the place for the discussion with
Lavender. "No time" would have been a good time, because is essentially
all boiled down to believing in Trelawney or not, and I doubt that to
the fan club of Trelawney ever even considered reason or logic when they
decided to support her. I don't fault Hermione as "picking a bad moment"
to speak her mind, because I don't think the result would have been any
different, and if I understood the book right, it was Lavender who
wanted to have that discussion to persuade Hermione, and not the other
way around. I'll have to reread that part to be sure.


June:
That is some thing I will have to re read as well. I thought it was Hermione who started it but I could be wrong. I have read the book so many times but things do some times go over one's head LOL. I do agree though that no matter the situation people who are with Trelawney would not have agreed with Hermione but you can really understand Hermione's point in thinking her a fraud. Trelawney really made a big production out of every thing and then she was any thing but nice to Hermione. She verbally attacked Hermione in the first class and has anyone else noticed that a lot of her predictions are actually caused by her. The prediction that someone would leave then Hermione left. She probably wouldn't have left if it wasn't for the way Trelawney treated her then in that case the prediction would not have come true.
