Interesting-- I think this chapter has the least unsatisfactory presentation of Hermione so far.
It's at least plausible that she'd be less self-assured than the canon version-- she's in a much weirder situation.
That was my experience too. She was much more likable as well!
I also liked some emphasis on Harry's cooperation with Hermione instead of more Harry-Draco stuff. Relying purely on trying to out-game a Malfoy for the purpose of developing godlike powers is a rather poor strategy.
