Presumably, Cormac should have been aware that Hermione was just using him to get back at Ron, and respected that.
Poor Hermione. Her jokes don't work like Harry's, then her plans to use people don't work like Ginny's! There's a nice attempt to blame the guy (same as with Dean and the whole 'ZOMG don't open doors for me!') but she recieves a lot more censure, especially from Harry (of course, she admits it openly to him, rather than Ginny, who'll only break her Cool Badass image when being dumped.)
Hermione is that clever just because she's that clever! Nothing funny about that!
There has been less heavy-handed exposition than this. But it's odd. It'd be a nice parallel with Harry faking drugging a friend and Hermione's also the one who points out how love potions aren't dangerous or dark (despite tarts like Romilda trying to spoil OBHWF.) Of course, again, what's dark and dangerous appears to come down to whether or not Harry and Hermione are personally affected by it - see, the whole of OotP and the 'counter-jinxes', so it's hardly concrete proof. I doubt it'll happen myself, but the whole essays here: http://www.dracoandginny.com/viewstory.php?sid=3300
