That still doesn’t cancel the fact that she was as bad to Neville as Snape in her own way back in PoA and GoF, though.
Agreed. McG may not be as ferocious as Snape, but she's no more supportive of less-than-talented students. Neville has to gain confidence on his own, then she'll start treating him as something other than a waste of space.
Hermione memorizing the books rather than actually learning from them
Before HBP, the only argument for SS/HG I could get behind was "They both have superior intellects". Only, not. Snape is actually gifted; Hermione is a swot with a photograpic memory. *sinks ship*
