I am afraid I don't understand. We are talking about which teacher is 
the best teacher for Hermione, right? From ALL Hogwarts teachers, 
correct?

So, I would say that Snape is nowhere near on the top of her list, 
McGonagall should be, IMO.

Sherrie:

As someone who was VERY much like Hermione in school, I respectfully 
disagree.  A teacher like McG., who might be strict but who I knew liked me, would not 
challenge me - whereas I would be trying like mad to gain the approval of a 
teacher like Snape, pushing myself even harder than usual.

I've had both sorts - and while I appreciated praise from the McGonagalls, I 
cherished every nod (even if it was in the form of a lack of negative 
response) from the Snapes.  And I'd usually defend them to my fellow students, just as 
Hermione does Snape.
