This was totally out of character, IMO. Even if she were in the
deepest throes of jealousy, Hermione Granger would still want to know
why and how the Prince's recipes work better than the original ones.
She just couldn't help it. No way, no how. Her curiosity would take
the better of her, sooner or later. Such an intellectual challenge,
such an opportunity for learning, those are things she would be
totally unable to pass up.

I guess JKR wanted to keep her away from the HBP's book for some reason.
