That's funny. That's like saying "If Harry was a Rockfeller, he'd be as 
rich as Rockfeller".

One of the characteristics of the gifted children is being an avid 
reader and having love of knowledge. And Hermione certainly isn't doing 
all that reading just for the marks.
Also, not getting the Golpalott's law suggest the cognitive ability of a 
teaspoon, if I may be so rude. Ron and Harry definitely have their 
strong sides, but academic talent isn't one of them.
