Re: Niemöller
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
For Hermione, I think she (much like Harry) started off with the best of intentions. There are challenges to being a Muggleborn in canon, so I can see her being persuaded that the "old boy, pureblood network" remains intact at the Ministry. Going through the list of purebloods, halfbloods and muggleborns, it's hard to find very many (if any) muggleborns in positions of power in the wizarding world.
