A big deal has been made about Hermione's innocence; i.e. Harry's extensive thoughts on the Milgram experiment after Azkaban. The implication seems to me to be that no, that is definitively NOT sufficient to drive her to murder; in fact, nothing would be sufficient to drive her to murder.

I guess Harry is sure of this fact due to his infallible power to know the hearts of men (and little girls).

I think Harry's wrong about that, is what I'm saying.
