No one has seen Hermione's boggart, though. I strongly suspect she 
made up the whole thing. She would hardly scream herself hoarse if 
McGonagall told her this kind of news in real life. I would expect 
crying or even fainting, rather. Even throwing a tantrum would be a 
bit over the top. Certainly, shaking in terror is not a likely 
reaction.
