Look, I dunno. She calls Hermione and me mudbloods to our face without any hesitation. She'll talk about all sorts of awful things with Lucius Malfoy, and she's ever so polite to him. But she despises both Professor Carrows. And I can tell she hates them because they're cruel. She's close to Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout, and they're the kindest people on the staff.
She lets me read any books I like from her shelves, just as long as don't let anyone but her see me doing so. In fact, she caught me with a book once, and I thought she was going to punish me, but she calmly told me I could read it and asked me what I thought of it. And sometimes she picks books to have me read aloud and I think...I think she's actually picking them to teach me things. Like she saw me reading a book about Charm formation, and I was puzzled about something. The next night she had me read aloud a book to her about Charm structuralisation, and it exactly answered what I'd been puzzled about the night before.
Maybe Hermione could say more about her. After all, she worked with the Headmistress longer than I have.
