I think Hermione was scared not because she was particularly affected by the
curtain, rather that she understood what the chamber was more than the
others did.  Also, she saw the effect that the curtain was having on Harry,
Neville, Luna, and Ginny, so she did her best to try to protect them from
it.

As for why those four were affected, It was for the same reason they could
see the Thestrals... they has seen death.  The Veil, in its way, is death
itself in a mote physical and tangible form.  Also, they could hear
voices... probably of loved ones on the other side.  The more important the
people who had died were to you, the louder and more clearly you heard their
voices.  Harry and Luna both lost parents, so that's probably why they heard
the voices loud enough that it was worth mentioning.
