I suppose so (she says *grudgingly*).  Matt said the same thing; 
however, I feel compelled to point out that Polyjuice Potion does not 
usually change the user into a *cat*, so it is a stretch to assume 
that Snape would immediately connect an image of Hermione-as-a-Cat 
with the stolen boomslang skin. A more revealing memory snippet would 
have been Harry and/or Ron changing into Crabbe and/or Goyle 
(*definite* Polyjuice Potion action.)  But perhaps there was 
something particularly upsetting about that memory because it 
involved *Hermione*....
