Ron's assumption that Hermione is automatically better at household charms, something she wouldn't have learned at school, is pure sexism. Agreed. The thing which bothers me, however, is that, OTOH, it's clearly the author's intention to show it as sexism, but, OTOH, all that hermione, the progeressive super-witch, ever does about it is grumble. What are we supposed to learn from that? A feminist is a woman who lets herself get fucked over but refuses heroically to like it?
