Personally, I don't think she really had any friends. Not close ones, anyway.
She reminds me of me in that sense. I never had any really close friends (bar, perhaps, one, in first grade), and rarely did I still talk to someone after one school term was over. I was constantly making new friends, then having to make even more the next year, because my friends from the year before wouldn't talk to me. I've always figured that's what happened to Hermione.
Trust me, it's entirely possible. I didn't have a long-lasting friendship until I was eleven. : D It wasn't until I lightened up some that I actually kept my old friends. (I was so a Hermione when I was younger. Only less studious.)

But that's just my two (or three) cents. : D
