Peggy:
Hermione keeps a lot of her information to herself.  She does this 
not only to build suspence within the story--but also because she is 
quite an inteligent little girl.  If they want to know who is on the 
list, they can look it up themselves.  
If you remember in PoA, she knew Lupin was a werewolf because of the 
Snape essay.  She was the only student who actually did it.  Yes, she 
was arguing with Ron and Harry at the time, but she did not give up 
the information that she gained.  
It is not unlike her to keep the information that she found on the 
list to herself.  It was also not necessary for her to reveal the 
others that were registered at that time.  She was looking for Rita--
what was important was that Rita was not on the list, not who was.

Me:
I would be /amazed/ if Hermione kept that to herself. Lupin was a different matter. It was information that could get him in trouble and he was a teacher they all liked, so she obviously wouldn't /want/ him to get into trouble. Besides the fact that Snape is not a teacher they like, it's not information that would get him into trouble. He's /registered/, after all. That's /definitely/ something she would share with Harry and Ron. In a "Wow-listen-to-what-I-found" kind of way. ("I didn't find Pettigrew on the list, but not only was McGonagall on there, SNAPE was!")
