Line 30:
*** Perhaps justified- after all, Hermione is Muggle-born and presumably Hogwarts is her only connection to the awesome world of magic. Wouldn't flunking out scare ''you''?
*** Ironically, due to her failing to defeat said Boggart in the obstacle-course, she ends up getting a B-equivalent in Defence Against The Dark Arts - thus making it the only subject where [[Harry Potter]] beat her out. (He, of course, got a perfect score. This being the one subject he really excels in.)
** Plus, in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Half-Blood Prince]]'' when the gang gets the results of their OWL Exams, Ron notes that Hermione got the top grade in everything ''except'' Defense Against the Dark Arts and, noting Hermione's not-so-pleased response asks "You're actually disappointed, aren't you?"
*** Harry's B-equivalent grade in Potions makes him worry that he won't be able to join the Dark-magic-fighting Aurors, and by extension, his defeating Voldemort could be that much more difficult. To be fair, he's been told that the professor for one of the classes required for certification won't accept people scoring below a certain (very high) level.
* One of the stories in ''[[Chicken Soup for the Soul|Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul]]'' is based around this. Of course, the girl in question was upset because she knew [[Abusive Parents|her father]] was going to ''beat'' her when she brought home the straight A and 1 B report card. Yeah...
