Um, it's pretty much established the reason Hermione can't cast an animal Patronus is because she doesn't have faith in an afterlife...

I don't think it was established one way or another what the reason for Hermione was.

The standard Patronus "feels wrong" when Hermione tries to cast it, just as it does to Harry.
