Using Hermione as a judge of if Snape is
a good teacher is horribly flawed. Teachers
are basically Hermone's hero's when she 
starts at Hogwarts. She is already predispo-
sed to give them credit for being wise and 
powerful. 
   
Also being a very clever student she more 
than likely judges how good a teacher is 
by how they impart knowledge to her. Of 
course she is going to learn no matter what.
Remember she went into Divination not belie-
ving in the subject long before she hated 
Trelawney. Honestly Hermione would more pro-
bably be just as good at potions if she had
only had the text book for a teacher.
   
A better judge of if Snape is a good teacher 
would be to ask his less talented students.
   
Say Neville..
