Magpie:

Hermione's boggart is a person too, isn't it?  Isn't it McGonagall?  I 
believe she tells Hermione she's failed everything.  Obviously Herimone 
isn't afraid or traumatized by McGonagall, but she represents an authority 
figure who can tell her she's a failure.  I think Snape represents a 
similarly general concept for Neville along wtih being himself.
