With good reason. Hermione was essentially stuffed into the fridge (warning: TV Tropes!) for half the story. The story is great, but there are completely legitimate feminist criticisms of how it went.
I read the whole "unicorn/troll/horcrux" part of Hermione's arc as the author's ironic contrition.
