On the other hand it is entirely possible, that Hermione is left out 
from ridiculing boggart because Lupin was affraid that given Hermione's 
skill at spells said boggart would be destroyed prematurely thus 
spoiling all the fun to other students, and removing the honours of 
final boggart demise from Neville.
