Alla:

Can we conclude
from this that teachers who teach Arithmancy and Ancient Rules for
example are good teachers? I am not so sure.

Magpie:

We can conclude that any teacher Hermione doesn't criticize as a teacher 
performs at a basic level that's okay with her.  Hermione doesn't like 
having her time wasted in class.  She seems to consider Snape a perfectly 
legitimate teacher.  She doesn't have to give passionate defenses of Snape 
as a teacher (besides conversations about how X is an excellent teacher 
being sort of contrived) Harry himself doesn't complain about him that way 
most of the time anyway.  As a human being Harry hates him.  When Snape is 
behaving as an awful human being, while being a teacher, Harry criticizes 
him.  As a teacher Snape's mainly a pain for giving too much homework that's 
really difficult.  Hermione has no problem with that, really.  She doesn't 
even seem to have a problem with him criticizing her answers or being a 
show-off, not in the way she's infuriated by Trelawney.
