Let's put that remark in context. She said she should be the one to 
actually steal the ingredients for the polly juice potion from Snape, 
a pretty gutsy thing to do by the way. When asked why she be the one 
to do this dangerous job she explained, accurately I think, why she 
was less likely to be expelled if caught than Ron or Harry. I like 
Hermione and she has no need to apologize for being smart. The only 
time I was mad at her was during the Scabbers incident, she should 
have shown more consideration towards Ron.
