Snape fair to Hermione?!

Re-reading CoS I noticed that Lucius comments to Draco in Borgin & 
Bourkes that Hermione did better than him in all his classes. This 
would suggest that Snape gave her higher marks than Draco in 
potions. Of course, Hermione is brighter than Draco (certainly in 
the academic sense), but as far as Snape is concerned, you'd think 
he'd come up with some way to mark Draco up, or mark Hermione down. 
He seems to find reasons to dock Harry. But in this respect, at 
least Snape gives Hermione her due. Never thought I'd be giving 
Snivellus any credit, but there it is!
