Honestly I am not sure I understand the alternative reading which was 
suggested by zgirnius.

Even if Snape means that he sees no difference that Hermione suffered 
no more than Grabb, isn't it in essense the same? Isn't he still 
referring to her teeth as to what she suffered from?

Isn't it still insult of her looks?

Thank you for  saying it.

I already said many times, but I will say it again – it is much 
easier to swallow DD!M Snape, if one does not try to justify every 
single insult from his mouth as either a good deed, or being badly 
misunderstood by Harry.

Not that I want to see DD!M Snape, but if DD!M Snape of such variety 
comes to life ( I call him SSSusan's Snape in my mind:)), at least I 
do not have to 
tear my hair apart after book 7 in a sense that it could be inferred 
from the books, if that makes sense.

JMO,
