I really like Hermione, because she is of course very intelligent, and is not afraid to use her intelligence to her advantage. She also has no problem telling people what to do and when to do it. She is strong willed and strong minded both qualities all women should aquaire and use to put themselves into positions where they can show the world that they are just as good as men.

I also like Neville, because he is at the opposite end of the spectrem from Hermione. He is shy and not as intelligent. He has a difficult time standing up to others, but has a kind heart, one that only comes from experiencing hard times and understanding that all people deserve to be respected and treated with kindness. I love how in GoF and OoP Neville really began to grow into himself, but I was dissappointed that he was hardly in HBP.
