But Hermione's fear isn't of a teacher (McGongall/Boggart - here after McBoggart), it's of failure. When in the end of year exam, McBoggart tells here she failed her exams, it is not McGonagall she is frightened of but what McBoggart is saying to her.

You can't use that as evidence until it is confirmed by canon.
