Answering those questions would make for an interesting spin-off, but as a writer I can tell you: we don't care about secondary characters at first, so she was just written, as Ron was, as a satellite for the protagonist, inspired by the know-it-all archetype. The most probable answer is that when the school enrolls a pure muggle-born, the same thing that happened with Harry Potter happened to Hermione : someone from the school showed up and accompanied her until she began her courses, and she probably read a lot in advance, starting from the very moment she got her wand and a grimoire.
Now, If we want to make it interesting, we can speculate that her thirst for perfection comes from a deep insecurity and need to satisfy her parents' expectations. She probably must have been a miserable trophy child before magic delivered her, and yet it didn't, because she still caries this toxic perfectionism and façade. So, she's either bright, but under inherited, neurotic performative pressure, or she's just gifted and masking, which is more or less the same thing.
And she can never say no, or admit that she is tired. Else, who would take an interest in her existence?
Been there, still in it. You're already doing better than most people. What we can do in our generation (GenY) for these kids is at least recognize their struggles instead of just ignoring them like the former generations did with us.
We have a lot of community work in front of us, and it must always begin with "I believe you", followed by "It is serious" and, most importantly "It wasn't your fault". We will never be these kid's parents, but we can be the cool uncles/aunts or big bro/sis' who help them heal.
We tend to do that in the gay community, where family is more often than not a big problem (well, of course, we have our predators too, but there must be more of us than those pieces of shit).

Not much. Open-world is often a design for a looooot of space without intention. It used to be a technical prowess, but now it's mostly for bland chores simulators. Generic open-worlds and mobile games have hurt game design a lot, especially in the 2010's, but IMHO, Fromsoft has saved us from that by creating a semi-open, interconnected world design that felt vast and intentional. Elden Ring was their first modern open-world and they nailed it with all that Souls experience.
Overwatch. It looks fun from the outside, but I'm forced to participate in short matches where I repeatedly die, come back and kill cute yet soulless people all day long, for a year.
I started eating people on day 3. There is a hole were my humanity used to be. A hole that can only be filed by trembling, bloody, screaming flesh.
The hamster was first.
He was easy.
Then, month after month, I got through the rest of the roster, each one with a different bottle of wine from the Paris deathmatch map. Now my appetite, form and spirit have grown beyond what is humanly conceivable. When the map loads and they see me, they all run and shriek as my many mouths start tearing through their ever fresh, juicy bodies. As if they too were starting to remember their unending, inescapable demise.
One day it will end, but in the meantime I need to feel their bones break and heartbeats fade on my tongues.
Such delicious marrow. Such delicious broth.
Billionaires would not exist if not for generations of cunts enabling them through propaganda and voting&consumming against their own interest. Boomers and the generations before them are guilty, not only of that, and not only now. At the moment, it seems that the entire planet has to die with them, when as a species we've never been richer. We already have the means to start mending what we've fucked up. And we don't, all that to the advantage of a minority of psychopaths. So, yeah, the truth of it all has more to do with capitalism, imperialism, the way we conceptualize power and authority, etc, but all those things, they have to be enabled.
So, yeah. Maybe not "luigi all boomers", but they could at least fuck themselves hard enough to gape for eternity.
In his defense, that really was a very stupid question to ask a writer, because it just says "hey, I haven't read your work. Please be a good bitch and tell me about it, even though I'm just an online rando trying to farm you for attention."
WTF are americans eating to make pooping so hard?

"Cunt"
"Gravis une marche dans ton jeu, France."

Oh, I'm here as well. 5 more of us and we'll be sense8.
Accurate.
Right in the feels, bro

Bazaar (flatpaks) because of its aesthetics and ease of use. Also, it's a good way to find niche apps directly published by their authors.
I also now avoid the AUR altogether.
Luigi all boomers
As many have guessed, the author's teaching career at Hogwarts was very brief.
Quasimorph. I am absolutely FUUUUUU-UH-CKED.
Celebration? Try "orgasm".

That all sound genuinely good, actually
Okay, so it's a tinkerer kink! Something like the current Cyberdeck trend?
