AYRT - But the point in the secret was exactly that Hermione had a "glow up" and people thought that was somehow unrealistic? When it's perfectly realistic of kids who are uninterested in grooming to grow up, get fit (because that's what hormones do to some along with growing tall...), start dressing well, wearing makeup and such, and become a conventionally attractive person. It's... really common, in fact.

Not saying that there isn't a positive social bias towards "conventionally pretty" people just that Hermione growing up to be like that wouldn't be impossible in the slightest.

Also, before I forget. This conversation made me think of Columbine - there is this big discussion over how attractive or not the perpetrators were, and some people do think they couldn't have been that angry at school because they were "white and not too ugly" (ie. "could have been attractive if they tried") as if those are the only possible reasons to be violently bullied in school. Particularly if your school is full of "white and not too ugly people", you can bet kids will find a reason to bully a Christ really. In that case, some reasons were (particularly mental) health issues not adhering to macho stereotypes prevalent in that culture (in mine, mental and physical issues and not adhering to girly stereotypes absolutely played a part.) "Ugly" is much more related to attitude and (pop, media, etc.) culture than we give it credit for.
