Yup, that was exactly my experience with Scully, and it was probably even worse because I was in the fandom and seeing it supported there as well as on the show. And she was just so damn interesting the other way, when she was somebody who really was looking for something and wanted to devote herself to something she thought was a just cause. I think Hermione is much the same way, probably. I think she likes having Harry as more of the focus than she is, even when she's wanting things to be done her way. I can really understand how both of them feel a lot of the time. Unfortunately Scully was made into something that was difficult to relate to at all, in the end.
