Family and Personal History: Hermione was born in 1979, the only child of a perfectly normal Muggle family. It is safe to assume that she attended an ordinary Primary school with the rest of the Muggle population until she received a letter inviting her to attend Hogwarts. A number of things can be inferred from this.
Firstly, it is clear that today's Muggle's don't necessarily harbor anti-witchcraft feelings (at least not all of today's Muggle's anyway). Despite the fact that modern-day wizards still feel the need to distance themselves from the Muggle population and keep themselves secret, it seems that many Muggle's are still open-minded enough to accept ideas of wizardry.
Secondly, it may appear at first glance that the Hogwarts authorities are none too careful about protecting the secrecy of their operation and of wizardry in general. After all, Hermione speaks or her great surprise (and delight) when the letter from Hogwarts arrived, and so for her at least it came totally out of the blue. Such a letter only has to fall into the hands of someone less open-minded for the whole wizarding world to be exposed in an instant. Bearing this in mind, it is likely that representatives from Hogwarts had made tentative contact with the Granger family when Hermione's potential magical ability first became apparent, even though this was kept from Hermione herself.
This is lent credence by the fact that Mr and Mrs Granger were quite happy to send their young daughter off to a boarding school in the wilds of Scotland without any concern, which they would never have done if the invitation to attend had been as much of a surprise for them as it had been for Hermione. Presumably then, they made preparations for her next school to be Hogwarts whilst still keeping it as a surprise for Hermione.
Following her arrival at the school, it quickly became clear that she was the cleverest girl in her year. Not only did she know the answer to every question asked by every teacher, she had memorized the contents of every book on the reading list before the start of term, and wasn't afraid to tell everyone else about it. She therefore started off her school career as an intensely irritating know-all, even going as far as standing up in lessons to indicate what answers she knew when putting her hand up didn't seem to be enough. Professor Snape was not amused.
Naturally enough, this made her somewhere equal in popularity amongst the students to Filch the caretaker. It seems that she knew and cared about her reputation, and wished that she had some friends, but at the same time wasn't able to curb her natural instinct to be best all the time. When she overheard Ron Weasley insulting her after she'd been particularly smug during a Charms class, she was very upset and spent the rest of the day in the toilets crying. This was particularly unfortunate for her, as this was Halloween 1991, the day that Professor Quirrell decided to let a troll into the school.
Harry and Ron, in an attempt to rescue her, instead accidentally ended up locking the troll in the toilets with her. They had no choice but to then go in and take the monster on, and through a special mix of luck and stupidity they actually knocked it out cold. Hermione lied to Professor McGonagall to cover their tracks, and in doing so finally gained her first friends.
This turn of events caused her to calm down a little bit, although she was still essentially the same old Hermione. Still keen to prove how much she knew, she at least curbed her instincts for telling off anybody who broke a school rule before even the teachers had a chance, and also turned her talents to helping her less able colleagues.
And so, after a dodgy start, she had finally managed to integrate herself into school life and became a popular, if still occasionally irritating, pupil - whilst still of course being top of the class at everything. This fact, given that she's Muggle-born, became of great annoyance to pure-blood enthusiasts such as Draco Malfoy, but he's had 6 years of it now and even he is coming to realize there's not much he can do about it.
By the end of her sixth year, Hermione was a mature, friendly, helpful and sensible girl, although one with a barely-suppressed bossy streak and an occasional zeal for inappropriate missions to help those who don't want helping (anybody care for a SPEW badge?). She even attracted the attentions of Viktor Krum in her fourth year despite him being several years older than her. Krum was particularly keen on Hermione, but although he got as far as sharing a kiss with her, their relationship was brief due to the fact that he had to return to Durmstrang following the end of the Triwizard Tournament.
Hermione has retained a soft spot for Viktor as a friend ever since - still keeping in touch with him as a pen friend. Her true affections, however, have always lain with Ron Weasley. As a sensible girl who was mature enough to recognize her emotions, she first acknowledged her attraction to him during her third year, although she knew at this stage that Ron was far from being mature enough to even notice her. By their fourth year (her relationship with Krum notwithstanding) even Ron couldn't help but notice that something was in the air, but as he was still unready to return romantic feelings, he instead used schoolboy bluster to avoid the issue. Hermione was expecting something more by this stage, and Ron's attitude caused her continual frustration. "Ron," she was heard to remark at the time, "you are the most insensitive wart I have ever had the misfortune to meet".
Another year brought little improvement, and by the time of their sixth year, whilst Ron was at least recognizing his own feelings for Hermione, he was still avoiding doing anything about it. In fact, when he found out the truth about Hermione and Krum's relationship, he was annoyed enough to take the easy option and embark on a wild fling with Lavender Brown in response. It was only when this reached its inevitable collapse that Ron and Hermione at last allowed each other close enough for the possibility of a romantic relationship to evolve.
Hermione's relationship with Harry, on the other hand, has always been much more stable. Their friendship has blossomed following its difficult beginning, and she has stayed (along with Ron) in her position as Harry's most trusted confidante throughout their school lives. Professor Dumbledore even went as far as to allow Harry to tell both Ron and Hermione about the full prophecy and its implications in order to relieve his burden, and following the headmaster's death, Hermione is now one of only three people alive to know the full truth.
Perhaps as a result of her Muggle upbringing, Hermione has a very logical approach to magic, regarding it as a science rather than an art. No doubt those born to wizarding families and having been surrounded by magic all their lives use a liberal dose of instinct and feel when spell casting. The need for this is very clear in the requirements for the Patronus charm, for example, where a channeling of happy thoughts is vital to the spell's success. Despite her encyclopedic knowledge of the theory and her success in exams, these are the elements that Hermione struggles most with. She actually regards Harry as a more naturally talented wizard than herself due to his innate affinity for magic, whilst she's had to learn it all by numbers - hence her suggestion that it is Harry rather than herself who should head Dumbledore's Army and teach Defense Against the Dark Arts to the other students in their fifth year.
Despite this, there can be no doubt that she is an exceptionally gifted witch, a fact which was reflected in her passing 11 OWLs, achieving the grade of "Outstanding" in 10 of them. This is made all the more remarkable by the fact that she studied only 10 subjects, presumably taking the Muggle Studies exam and passing with top marks despite dropping the subject at the end of her third year. She elected to take 7 NEWTs in her sixth year, although following the murder of Professor Dumbledore it remains to be seen whether she will ever actually get to take these exams.
Even Hermione's choice of pet - the half cat/half Kneazle crossbreed Crookshanks - seems to reflect her personality. Crookshanks too is clever, logical, and has a dash of Gryffindor courage, as he showed when defending Sirius Black in the Shrieking Shack. As the fight against Voldemort goes on, with Hermione inevitably involved, these traits will stand her in good stead, and she will need all the talent and quick-thinking she can muster. At the end of her sixth year, with Dumbledore's tragic death weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, she (along with Ron) made a promise that she would help Harry in his quest to defeat the Dark Lord rather than return to school to finish her education. Harry has no intention of allowing her to keep that promise, but Hermione is not the sort of girl to be dissuaded. It seems that her next year, whatever Harry intends, is likely to involve far more dangerous action and a lot less classroom learning than she is used to.
