I absolutely HATE Pansy Parkinson.
According to J.K. Rowling, Pansy Parkinson was a character she LOATHED and is the anti-Hermione. Not like the 'Luna-anti-Hermione', where Luna relies on instinct and faith and Hermione relies on logic and books. Pansy is just a nasty little pug who exerts a bad influence on other Slytherins.
1.) She's a follower:
Pansy Parkinson begins to follow Draco Malfoy and his cronies in Prisoner of Azkaban, constantly making faces and teasing the other students who weren't part of Malfoy's gang, or her own: Millicent Bulstrode, Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, etc. Pansy exhibits a sort of behavior that proves that if she were without her followers or "friends", she would be weak and powerless. She relies on the verbal and emotional support of the other Slytherins. Pansy Parkinson is a coward.
2.) SHE MAKES FUN OF PARVATI AND NEVILLE--TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS
Stupid Pansy. When Pansy is in a Gryffindor/Slytherin flying class, Draco throws Neville's Remembrall and Parvati sticks up for all the teasing aimed towards him. Pansy whines at Parvati, "Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom? Never thought you'd like fat little crybabies, Parvati."
3.) She really matches her house colors--GREEN
Pansy shows a bit of jealousy towards Hermione Granger in Goblet of Fire when an article is printed referring to Hermione as 'stunningly pretty', to which Pansy sneers, "Stunningly pretty? Her? What was she judging against--a chipmunk?"
Pansy, in my opinion, is hiding her jealousy of Hermione by insulting her.
She also is upset when Krum takes Hermione to the Yule Ball.
Just saying.
4.) Pansy supports the Dark Arts
This is a real quick one--on the way to Hogwarts in book six, as Pansy swoons over Draco as he lays his head on her lap, she is impressed that he has developed the Dark Mark and been initiated into becoming a Death Eater
5.) Pansy wanted to turn Harry in to Voldemort
During the Battle of the Hogwarts, the option was proposed to turn Harry in to the Dark Lord. Pansy was the only one to agree with this idea. When this prospect is declined, Pansy is furious and flees castle grounds with the other Slytherins, except for Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle.
Sounds like a great friend, doesn't she?
