I disagree. I think her acheiving has to do with Rowling's desire for her to be a classic "nerd" character, while at the same time being a good friend. She still has great intuition, very good critical reasoning ability, and is definitely introverted. She is also very wise, and is the balance to Ron's impulsiveness. If you took Sycophant, and subtracted the psychosis, took away all meanness, you'd have Hermione Granger.Originally Posted by gilligan87
EDIT: And before you react, Sara, realize that that's actually a complement.
