Not trying to say Hermione should be good at everything. Like you say she's not a good flyer and not as good a duelist as Harry. (though she certain is shown to do more of it and more successfully than Ron, on page at least)

Just saying, well it seemed noticable that frequently in this book, I'm hearing 'Hermione bursts into tears and Ron puts her arms around her' more often than in any other book. When it seemed a really rare event. Like I said, part of it seems to be so JKR can beat us around the head with Ron/Hermione.

As to the DADA exam, you're right to point it out, but boy is that a contrived bit. I mean you're in the middle of an DADA exam, you go inside a tree and you don't realise whatever is inside is part of the test? Boggarts work much better for me, when someone has a specific fear like spiders or dementors or mummies and less when some's fear is more metaphysical like failure or losing loved ones. Because seriously I'm not buying that people wouldn't be able to cope with these things when its obvious monster trying to throw it in your face.

Anyway as to Hermione that bit was contrived so that Harry could be 'better at DADA' than her.
