Picking a fight with a teacher like this seems a bit OOC for someone like Hermione. Maybe the real Hermione Granger’s been drugged and locked in a magical trunk with the real Ginny Weasley, and has now been taken over as JKR’s sock-puppet.
Oh OH Oh!!! I have to share this that showed up a couple days ago online because it goes along with your above comment about sock-puppets. I am copying the below from mugglenet.
In a new article posted today by MovieLine, J.K. Rowling revealed how apprehensive she was at handing the keyboard over to screenwriter Steve Kloves for the movie adaptation of her magical world.
Rowling recalls how one simple word put her mind at ease and her trust never waivered from that point on. Here is what JK Rowling revealed:
Steve turned to me while food was being ordered and said quietly, "You know who my favorite character is?" I looked at him, red hair included, and thought: You're going to say Ron. Please, please don't say Ron - Ron's so easy to love! And he said: "Hermione." At which point, under my standoffish, mistrusting exterior, I just melted. Because if he got Hermione, he got the books. He also, to a large extent, got me.
Firstly, let me try to keep down my lunch...next...I used to think and ponder that Hermione was JKR in the book, but JKR just rather blatantly admitted she was Hermione right there.
Seriously if she invented all the characters then I would think a good author would appreciate the love no matter which character we liked. But apparently if you like Hermione...you are a super fan.
Does that mean that I'm not a good fan because Snape is my favorite?
Snape has apparently come to expect a high pass level from his students, suggesting that he’s actually quite a good teacher, after all.
No, he's evil because he expects the students to do their work, curse you authority figure! Sorry Severus, you should have realized when Dumbledore gave you the job you were just going to be a babysitter.
