   I don't believe it really has anything to do with Pansy being in
Slytherin. Pansy is one of those girls who, according to Cannon,
spends most of her time seeking the attention of a certain boy, and
the rest of her time trying to make herself feel better by pulling
others down. She constantly says cruel things about Hermione, about
Hagrid, about Harry, etc. There are other girls in the series that
have a similar attitude, who are in other houses. Pansy does seem to
epitomize this attitude, however. That is what Rowling dislikes about
Pansy. She is one of the "mean" girls, who dosen't have enough self
worth to be helpful and pleasant to others. Hermione, despite her
flaws, never tears others down in order to feel better about herself.
If she has ever been nasty to someone, they are either Ron, or deserve
it. She also never really dotes on boys she is interested in. If they
don't like her for who she is, well she isn't going to change.
