Well, perhaps Hermione starts debating with Snape about magical theories during class. She might bring up new research or different interpretations that go against what Snape has been teaching for years. Like, when Snape is talking about the properties of a certain magical plant, Hermione could say 'But Professor, I've read in an old wizarding journal that the plant has additional properties that we're not considering.' This would surely annoy Snape as he's not used to being challenged in such a way.
