Mind you, Yavanna, that I was mostly joking, but here are a few things.
1) after failing to get Gandalf seated as head of the White Council, Galadriel gave up, and then didn't keeps tabs on Saruman's doings as much as she could have. Had she, he probably wouldn't have been able to cause as much damage. Not her job to babysit wizards, but it would have been nice.
2) She gave the Fellowship "the willies", not to put too fine a point on it. She creeped them all out to start with. Galadriel got Boromir to second guess his own intents, which led to Aragorn mistrusting him, which led to
3) Boromir's downfall. He attacked Frodo which led to
4) The breaking of the Fellowship. Add Frodo's taking off and Saruman's orcs rampaging around the country side, and they had a pretty big problem.
There's my Galadriel's screw-ups list. And remember, I was joking, and I still pretty much am. Cheers
