I'm glad to see someone dealt with the SNEAK hex. Hermione seems to go further and further into the grey areas with each book (of course, so does Harry...) what with Rita's kidnapping in GoF and the bird attack in HBP. (And Marietta still having the curse in HBP was frankly, a bit chilling.)

That sneak hex was just evil, in and of itself. However, if any character ever deserved it, it would be Marietta...

Really? I never thought Marietta was that bad.
Or good. She seemed to me very much a symbol, like Montague, the guy the twins put in hospital. I always thought of her only purpose to sort of show where the books and characters are going. If Hermione's - and Harry and the rest of the DA's by extension - behaviour is never addressed, then it reveals something about JKR's beliefs. If Hermione's behaviour is addressed in the last book, then Marietta will have been a tool for the plot advancing, and for Hermione's character development.

When you read, you cannot help but interpret the books colored with your own perceptions and realities. Marietta is a traitor, pure and simple, and I, being who and what I am, have no time or patience for traitors.

Sure, she is just a tool. Doesn't mean I don't hate her any less.

You need to back off the personal attacks before you criticize my story.

If you can't do it, then STFU. I don't want to hear it.

I don't understand. Didn't Marietta make a choice to tell on the DA? It wasn't like Hermione took her anger out on Marietta after Marietta "sneaked" - if Harry or ROn or Fred or George or even Hermione had told the secret, the same thing would have happened to them. Marietta promised not to tell, and then broke her own promise. Too bad for her that she thought there would be no consequences. If Marietta had been following the rules she agreed to follow, she wouldn't have a problem.

I don't think it was a satisfaction thing. Hermione trusted that everyone would play by the rules. One person didn't. I don't think it's quite fair to say that Hermione's precautions flew in the face of reason.

Besides, how do we know there's no cure for Marietta's disfigurement? Nobody ever asked Hermione if she would help with lifting the hex.

You said you "just can't believe this line of reasoning." I'm a little fuzzy on yours.
