I'm rather on the opposite side of this.  When I get criticized, I get 
furiously angry and then make sure the next time I do something that is much 
better than what I was criticized for.  I personally learn better form 
teachers who are mean.  Example: My chemistry teacher in my sophmore 
continually berated my friends and I after we messed up a lab.  Result: We 
kicked chemistry ass the rest of the year.  Our grades went higher after she 
criticized us in front of the class.  Even though I hate her *much* more than 
I thought it was possible to hate someone, I still learned more because all I 
could think about was "showing Doc up!"  I think I would pick Snape over 
Hagrid - and I cannot stand Hermione.
 I think she's an untolerable insufferable know-it-all (which might be 
because I am a Hermione.  People usually hate people with traits they see in 
themselves...that's my experience anway.).  She's not helping Neville by 
telling him what to do.  If she wants to help, why doesn't she tutor him?  
Cheating doesn't help anyone (which is the reason I failed 4 tests my 8th 
grade year after my math-genius boyfriend and I broke up).  Snape takes 
points off because Hermione helps him cheat.  I'm surprised he doesn't take 
off more points just for that.  Cheating is cheating, even if it is in a 
class taught by a miserable git.
