I think it's implausible that Hermione, even in PoA, could imagine 
nothing scarier than failing classes.  Most likely she made up a 
lie about the boggart being McG, because she was too 
embarrassed to admit what her boggart really looked like.  
Perhaps we'll find out her greatest fear in book 6 or 7.

Taryn:
I don't think her fear should be taken exactly literally. I think her greatest fear is failure in itself. However, failure is an idea more than a physical presence, so the boggart probably took the most current fear about it and used that. It's very plausible to think of Hermione's greatest fear being just failure in general, which I believe it is.
