Hermione didn't fall for Lockhart, she had a schoolgirl crush on him. She was twelve at the time, not 18-20 like Belle, we develop semi-crushes on good-looking older people at that age when we... begin to "discover" the opposite sex (or same if that's your thing), and never once did Hermione express wanting to actually be with Lockhart. Oh, and plagiarism and destroying people's memories isn't the worst of his wrongs, what really got me was that he was willing to let an eleven-year-old girl get killed just to save face.

But to the OP: If I can compare any DP to Hermione, it would be Jasmine. Hermione and Belle are only similar in liking books. Hermione has Jasmine's strong will, knowing what she wants out of life, pride, and a very short temper. Belle's more like Ginny. Sees the good in people, is really nice, but will show you her hostile side if you keep pushing all the wrong buttons.
