Me:
Maybe I misread your meaning here, but didn't Hermione mention that she took
the hair from Millicent's robes? I think in the book (I'm re-reading at the
moment and haven't come to that part yet) she takes the hair while they are
sharing the classroom for potions or something (don't stone me if I'm wrong,
it's been a while) but for the film, I think it's just a given that the hair
was probably plucked from her clothing. Long-haired girls especially would
no doubt agree that they moult onto their clothing, so this is certainly
likely.

 Me again:
My presumption would be just that it isn't really brought up and discussed
in any great detail. I mean, when Harry (as Goyle) and Ron (as Crabbe) first
start to ask Draco (as, er, Draco) about the CoS, he states that they've
already had the discussion and found out that he is as much in the dark as
they are. I think that Crabbe and Goyle's intellectual slowness is all the
cover that is needed here. As for the possibility of Malfoy asking Crabbe
how his stomach ache is, well, that's another question...

Me again:
Nah, they won't even think to mention it.
