Thank you for realizing this, and drop all irrelevent comparison.
I just find it odd people can't seem to grasp that each character 
served his/her own unique roles in the story. Each of them represents 
different emotions, personalities, agendas, etc. that's made up of 
their character, thus their dynamics and how they impact each other 
and the plot. It's as if some of you expect every character to be the 
same, "if xxx can do this, why not yyy can do that?" Well, YYY acted 
another way (which incidently not conventional or the proper "right" 
way) is exactly what his/her character served in the story for. 
Furthermore they're different to purpose a "relation" to other 
characters ("relation" as in like how we have logical Hermione and  
Ron regarding trusting snape -- people are bound to have different 
values, discipline, morals, beliefs, etc). And certainly not all of 
them matches our own. So that's I think Hermione does not need 
any "mysterious reason" or Snape's apology in order to for her to put 
her trust in Snape. She based her trust on Dumbledore. That's her 
character. If her logical way do not match yours (you do not trust 
Snape because you hate his guts), that's your view, not Hermione's. 
Snape is Snape, Hermione is Hermione, and so on.

Based on the way-out-of-her age maturity and understanding toward 
humanity displayed in OOP, I'd say Hermione has raise another level 
of her superwoman-ness. ;)
