Oh  lord, was there every a degree of this at work here. That is
Hermione's  whole beef with divination. It requires an intuitive

information.

It is probably  eating her up inside, which is probably one of 
the things the prevents her  from restraining herself in that
particular moment.

Good  thought.

I don't think it was something she obsessed on. She already knew back  in 
first year that wizards/witches have no sense of logic as pointed out to  
Harry when solving Snape's logic puzzle in the dungeons. She's seeing here in  
action that lack of insight where most everyone immediately attributes the 
event  as  being the prediction come true. They have no reason to look at it  
logically because magic (or someone magical) said 'it' would happen and  
magic is right. It becomes an argument when they don't understand her  
reasoning that magic might be wrong once in a while.
