Because she's part of Harry's gang.  

Slytherins are okay because he has some influence over them; they can
be trained to the proper attitudes.  Also he's fiercely territorial
about his stuff - his house, his classes, his expertise.

But the kids in other houses aren't being trained in the proper
manner.  Their heads of houses don't appreciate the school like he
does, don't understand that you can't just let the kids have fun,
they're there to work and besides it's absolutely sickening the way
all the other teachers fawn over the FAMOUS Harry Potter - the
WONDERFUL Harry Potter - the POPULAR Harry Potter - is this any way
to run a good school?
