I have to disagree with you there. That WAS Hermione thinking out-side
the box. And it didn't work. 


Do you remember Hermione's boggart? It was that she had failed every
class. I think Hermione's deepest fear is failure. When she can get
over  her fear of failing I think she'll be brilliant at whatever she
experiments with.


Also, did it bother anyone else that Hermione DID seem kind of stupid
in Potions? We're talking about a girl who made Poly-juice Potion in
her second year. I don't understand how she could do that then, but
suddenly seem quite inept and unable to work at potions in her sixth year.


I feel that maybe JKR went a little over-board at trying to stress how
much better the HBP was at making potions.
