It will be interesting to see how Harry will neutralize the threat Hermione poses. While I can understand her desire for a friend, I think it is despicable of Albus how he would so callously use her. It will be interesting to see how Harry unravels the manipulations around the poor girl.
She has the capacity to be a true friend if Harry can get her out of the Great Manipulator's control. What I find most interesting is how Dumbledore has placed Harry in a situation that has made him view Voldemort in neutral terms. He has essentially made them if not allies, at least neutral parties to each other. All in the name of his vision of the greater good.
