She dismisses Firenze in response to Lavender and Parvati's girlish 
squealing over the centaur. She is dismissive of Lavender and 
Parvati, not Firenze.


Bohcoo responds:

OOP, ch. 27, pg. 599, American Edition:
"'Not really,' said Hermoine indifferently, who was reading the 
Daily Prophet. 'I've never really liked horses.'"

Can't get much more dismissive of Firenze than that, can she?

She even carries this dismissive attitude towards the centaurs with 
her into the forest when she and Harry are getting rid of Umbridge:

OOP, ch. 33, pg. 756, American Edition
(Gray centaur speaking) "' ... We were to act as your servants, drive 
away your enemies like obedient hounds?'"

'No!' said Hermoine in a horrorstruck squeak. 'Please -- I didn't 
mean that! I just hoped you'd be able to -- to help us --'"

She still couldn't see beyond her own point of view. She is 
only "horrorstruck" that her plea isn't working -- that they are 
offended by her attitude. She does not give them any validity.

In my opinion,
Bohcoo
