I ' ve been making a lot of homemade pizza in school recently . It ' s been a lot of fun ! I can make the dough in about 15 minutes , and ignore it for anytime longer than an hour . Then bam ! Yummy dough for pizzas pepperoni , onions , multiple cheeses and salt or calzones ! <| sep |> upvote that dress <| sep |> I ' d say that being an integral part in the plan to stop voldemort definitely qualifies you for special attention from the one other person working harder for that goal . Hermione simply doesn ' t need the extra help and , while I ' m not a teacher , I imagine a good teacher would wish to resist the temptation to give more attention to those kids that really enjoy learning . It could be argued that Dumbledore ' s other commitments interfered with his role as headmaster , and that if he focused on his main job then all of his students , including Hermione , would receive a better education , but that ' s a separate debate .
