No, no.  Even if we grant that Snape's favoring of Draco and other 
Slytherins is analagous to McGonagall's favoring of Harry and other 
Gryffindors (and I don't necessarily grant anything of the sort, but never 
mind), this has nothing to do with Snape's cruelty to Hermione.  There's no 
other teacher who preys on the students he or she *doesn't* favor the way 
Snape preys on Harry's class.  Put another way, this isn't a binary system:  
there's favor, disfavor, and nul; McGonagall treats Gryffindors with favor 
and Slytherins with nul, while Snape treats Slytherins with favor and Gryfs 
with disfavor.  The situations are not remotely equal.
