To add: When I read the book, I saw that scene as a significant character advancement moment. Hermione, who HATED Lavender because Lav stole Ron, had grown enough as a person to save Lavender's life. She very specifically saved the girl who had tormented her (however unwittingly) just a year before. And I found this significant, and that's part of the reason I assumed Lavender lived, because it missed the point of the scene if she died.
