I don't take the insult to Hermione's teeth too seriously.  This is a 
school for witches and wizards, where a student can probably get 
hexed at any minute, or have an accident.  It isn't something one 
complains about; it's something one deals with.  The hex is curable, 
not fatal.  It's like turning yourself into a part-cat, or taking a 
telescope blow to the eye.  Hermione's actually getting better at 
deaing with these physical insults.

Which is a good thing.  Hermione was born a Muggle.  She's got to 
toughen up.  She will hear much worse in years to come.  If her 
threshhold is physical looks, she is incredibly vulnerable to 
emotional manipulation.

Snape has no time for babies who can't handle some minor hexing.  
Perhaps they remind him of himself at a certain age.  Snape got 
insulted for his looks.  He may have cried about it when he was 
younger.  When he was older, he might have discounted it.
