Just to make sure I was reading it right, I pulled out the book again just to be certain.

I don't think it was praise so much as it was being glad he had something strong to defend himself with since Malfoy was going straight to the Crucio curse. Also, re-reading the scene where they did have a spat, Hermione was being a little nit because she was more upset that the book was giving Harry an advantage in Potions that she didn't have, which is when Ginny called her out to get over it.


"Are you telling me, " said Hermione,"that you're going to go back--?"

"And get the book? Yeah, I am," said Harry forcefully. "Listen, without the Prince, I'd never have won the Felix Felicis. I'd never have known how to save Ron from poisoning, I'd never have--"

"--got a reputation for Potions brilliance that you don't deserve," said Hermione nastily.


No seriously, pull out pg. 532 and look at it--Hermione wasn't in the right either, here. It's only after being called out by Ginny that she starts to backtrack and say she's glad Harry's ok, but the spell was bad because it got him banned from Quidditch and that somehow destroyed Gryffindor's chances at Quidditch--which is also an indirect slap to the rest of the Gryffindor team, who have been able to get along without him. Hermione may have been right about the spell being bad, no one was contesting that (not even Ginny)--but that wasn't why Hermione was upset. She was pissed about being beaten by Harry in Potions.

So no, neither girl comes off with a particularly spotless image after this scene. =\

(I understand. I'm certain there's more than one Hermione fan miffed about this particular scene--that's why I made sure to pull out my book instead of trusting my hazy memory. I'm on a re-reading spree anyhow, but I'm currently on book 5, lol)
