I don’t think Hermione dying is anywhere near the worst thing that could happen; I mean, come on, there’s plenty of worse possibilities. Draco and Hermione could do a mutual slaying; Draco could kill Hermione and then Harry has to kill Draco; heck, Hermione could unjustly kill Draco and then Harry has to kill her. That sort of thing.
