Hey, don't have time to read through everything at the moment, looks good, but can you reformat so that it looks like standard HTML? At the moment it's hard to read.

Oops, I thought we had to follow the double spaced requirement for the MLA format. I changed it.

double spaced isn't mla, it's just what teachers ask for so that they can make comments on a paper easily.

She is compared to Molly and the Twins at times.

I don't know why Ginny was willing to spread gossip at first. Probably because she wanted to look as if she was "In-the-know" to the Trio. Hermione was vicious as well.

Maybe they were both frightened about a new female coming into the mix.

The Marauders pretty much ran the school outside of classes. Why were they given such leeway?

Why were they given such leeway?

Because whatever kids do outside of classes doesn't much interest the teachers, unless it's actual physical violence and the problem hasn't solved itself after a while. From personal experience, they rarely get involved even then.

Ginny is one of the popular girls and Hermione was, at first, one of the outsiders.

Ron was in a very bad temper by the end of the class.
"It's no wonder no one can stand her," he said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor. "She's a nightmare, honestly."
Someone knocked into Harry as they hurried past him. It was Hermione. Harry caught a glimpse of her face - and was startled to see that she was in tears.
"I think she heard you."
"So?" said Ron, but he looked a bit uncomfortable. "She must've noticed she's got no friends." -PS-

She realized that the way she was, she would have very few (if any) friends, and after the troll incident, she wanted to make sure she'd never lose the friends she has.

But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their ( ... )

Yes, Luna highlights one of Hermione's shortcomings. She backs down from subjects that interest her. Not personally but publicly she disavows them. It makes her weaker, she is always chasing the safety zone set by her peers.

Interesting, I'd never thought to compare Luna and Snape. And I'd forgotten Luna's line about Hagrid; she's now my hero. :)

Yes! The Hagrid comment was fantastic. She was going to stick to her opinion and noone was going to take it away from her.

Exactly the sort of thing I wanted! Forgive the lateness of my reply, I wrote my own essay and got tied up with RL. But yes, when I thought of Luna and Snape I thought of how they were both bullied but their reactions were completely different.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to write as well.

It makes me wonder how tuned into Hogwarts is Tom Riddle? He seems to pick off the talented wizards. Does he know who is downtrodden and looking for revenge?

Good point - it would be pretty easy to spot 'the outsiders'. I bet he does look for the downtrodden!
