I disagree with people singling Hermione (or any other individual character) out for this. As other people have said, the canon doesn't treat these events seriously--and that's because the entire canon's perspective is different than ours. Things that would be absolutely terrible in the real word are underplayed because it increases the whimsy; there's a kind of slapstick element to it. Children get battered in a violent sport, mauled by wild animals, dropped out of windows--but it's okay because this is a world where psychological repercussions don't really exist and magic means none of them are permanently hurt. Things only become serious when it's important to the narrative that they be serious.
It's one thing if you want to interpret the canon as being full of terrible people making terrible choices. But I just don't think it's good evidence that a particular character is awful, etc, because it's hypocritical to apply the standards of our world just to the characters you dislike.
