Yes, but it also puts her at the centre of attention in other ways, ways that might make it harder for her to maintain fairness. As you said, what, her family is not well-placed. There must be pressure on her from somewhere to make sure that the 'right' sorts of people excel in the programme, do you see. And if she has no status of her own, what, then one wonders how easy it shall be for her to resist that pressure, over time. With Professor Lestrange behind her, she's got more of a chance, if you follow me--but even that's well confusing. From everything I've heard, he's highly placed precisely because he's one of the Lord Protector's own Council and he served close to the man for years. So...does he support being fair and equal? Or does he support the sorts of things that ensure Marvolo will win the Tournament or that the purebloods always come out top in marks, that sort of thing? And if so, then...how long shall it be before Professor Sinistra's views change to match his, what? Or if his views align with hers...then how long before he comes under scrutiny and disfavour?

Which brother is that? Do forgive me, old man, but you've so many of them, what!

As for Hydra--no. No, it was just the opposite. Well, I suppose some of it had to do with who she is, but not because of social climbing, what. It was.... I noticed her because she's related to Sirius, of course. And because her mother's who she is. But no, Ron, I should have to say that I spent a great deal of time trying not to fancy her, before I decided that it was bally well useless. I'd be a good job safer and she also if I didn't fancy her at all, if you follow me.
