Just  because whoever wrote those annotations in the HBP book was a
true genius  at Potions (or had had a LOT of practice), doesn't mean
that anyone else  should be. Harry is a natural at flying, but he
doesn't expect anyone else  to be. So I say let's recognise Hermione's
amazing abilities, and let's  stop asking her to be even more of a
genius than she already  is.

It's interesting that HBP has finally laid to rest the argument over
whether Snape actually earned the title "Potions Master" or simply
used it to stoke his ego. I think we can now safely say Snape is
a genius at Potions. Which makes it kind of odd that Snape 
wanted to DADA position so much (though I suppose he's just
as good at DADA). And I do wonder why when Snape kept
asking DD for the DADA position year after year, DD didn't
just say "You're a Potions Master, Severus. That is your greatest
talent and that's what you should be teaching." Or maybe he did.
