Hermione Granger is this. The smart bookworm with a good heart is a pretty basic character and that's cool, but Hermione is never, ever allowed to be seriously wrong. Even when she imprisons someone in a bottle for weeks. Even when she steals her parents memories of her. Even when she sets up Umbridge to be taken by the centaurs. Her setting canaries on Ron so that he's still got scratches from them a month later. Her confunding Cormac so that Ron made the team instead...

Don't get me wrong, these things happen for the story to keep moving, but no one in story ever goes 'hey, Hermione, you know all that shit you've done? really fucking terrible' and 'two wrongs don't make a right'. And the shit Hermione does ranges from petty teenage garbage to holy shit that's a horrific crime you just committed and no one ever gives a shit about it in universe.

But that's not Hermione, that's the entire world of the books. Things that would be horrible crimes in the real world aren't treated that way in the books because that world has its own set of rules and you can tell immediately that it's not the same as ours because of the mundane way these things are treated. It's the same idea as watching a slapstick comedy, where you have to accept that people getting smacked around and injured in ways that would normally be very serious are just normal and everything is fine.

I'm surprised you're bringing up Hermione in the book series where the main character is the king of all Mary Sues. In the first book Hogwarts literally rewrites the rules of the entire school twice just to make him special treatment - first time when they let him join the Quidditch team despite first year students not being allowed to play, then again at the end of the book, when Dumbledore took away the house reward from Slytherin after they've won.
