I once told someone that if they didn't understand what was going on in an HP movie, it's because the director had assumed they'd read the book. I think JKR is doing the opposite here. “Yeah, I do remember, thanks,” said Harry through gritted teeth; he did not need Hermione to tell him that Voldemort had once used this selfsame connection between them to lead him into a trap, nor that it had resulted in Sirius’s death. Couldn't that have been much more poignant as 'he did not need Hermione to remind him of the consequences', or something similar?
Also, GAH at suddenlyhot!Hermione. Though, to be honest, I'm wondering if she might have accidentally blasted herself with that Memory Charm at some point.
