That might conceivably be true now (though I have trouble believing 
that Snape would consider a fourteen-year-old girl to be a threat to 
him, no matter how bright she was), but it doesn't explain why Snape 
is nasty to Hermione.  He was nasty to her before she brewed the 
polyjuice potion.  He was nasty from the very first day of the very 
first year, when she was just an anonymous eleven-year-old whose 
only crime was to be in Gryffindor.  No way he would've considered 
her a threat then.
