Very well said, especially on the "reproductive organs" thing. >_< The only squickier and unfortunate implication-y bit, which pretty much seems to serve to say "Girls, don't try to make decisions about having sex or getting abortions on your own. Only men should decide that. If you try to do those things on your own, you're an idiot who will probably get raped". D

I meant that Hermione had been pregnant here and miscarried as a result of what happened in the last few chapters. It's what the fake-out refers to. We're meant to think right now that she's dead, only for it to be revealed at the beginning of next chapter that "I did everything I could" referred to that instead. I love how the conversation is so clumsily truncated that there's not even a close quote.
