Did Hermione still have a crush on Lockhart in "Order of the Phoenix"?

Question

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it is understandable why Hermione has a crush on Gilderoy Lockhart: he was handsome, she was a little girl, so she had a fan-girl crush on him, like normal girls to music/movie stars of her age.

At the end of Chamber of Secrets Harry and Ron realized that all his achievements were fake (after Lockhart told them so). I would assume that by the time when trio visits St. Mungo's for the first time, Hermione would be aware of why Lockhart was dismissed, or realized Lockhart's deceptions.

However, when visiting St. Mungo in 5th book, she was breathless, when she saw Lockhart again.

‘Oh, my goodness,’ said Hermione suddenly, sounding breathless. ‘Professor Lockhart!’

My interpretation back when I've read it for the first time long ago was that Hermione still had a crush on him. Is that really the case, or is it my wrong interpretation of her reaction?

Answer 1

I believe you are referencing the following passage from chapter 23, "Christmas on the Closed Ward" (emphasis mine):

But as he stepped on to the landing he came to an abrupt halt, staring at the small window set into the double doors that marked the start of a corridor signposted SPELL DAMAGE. A man was peering out at them all with his nose pressed against the glass. He had wavy blond hair, bright blue eyes and a broad vacant smile that revealed dazzlingly white teeth.

‘Blimey!’ said Ron, also staring at the man.

‘Oh, my goodness,’ said Hermione suddenly, sounding breathless. ‘Professor Lockhart!’

Their ex-Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher pushed open the doors and moved towards them, wearing a long lilac dressing gown.

I imagine people may run out of breath when they see their crush. But of course it's also entirely possible that she was simply startled, same as Ron and Harry, by seeing her old teacher with whom they may not have parted on the best terms, in a mental facility.

It's also possible that she was surprised to see her old "crush", who was previously a very elegant and charming man, displaying a very child-like attitude, which is contrary to what she remembers him to be.

A few explanations are possible, but nothing suggests she still has a crush on him.

Answer 2

It's unlikely that Hermione still had a crush on Lockhart at this point, because earlier in Order of the Phoenix she already demonstrated that she was aware that he was a fraud (something which she had been denying throughout Chamber of Secrets), when she stated that Lupin was their only Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who actually knew the subject:

"Harry, you're the best in the year at Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Hermione.

"Me?" said Harry, now grinning more broadly than ever. "No I'm not, you've beaten me in every test —"

"Actually, I haven't," said Hermione coolly. "You beat me in our third year — the only year we both sat the test and had a teacher who actually knew the subject. But I'm not talking about test results, Harry. Look what you've done!"
