Well, yeah, when you first look at Herm's hair on the PoA cover, it 
does look a darkish, reddish color.  If you compare it to the pic of 
Ginny (and Ron, too, for that matter, since they both have the 
same 'Weasley red' hair) on the back of the CoS cover, it's much 
easier to see the difference.  Ginny's hair certainly makes Herm's 
look much more 'brown', to me.
