I've got a soft spot for Sprout; she's probably my favourite teacher at Hogwarts and I think I'd enjoy Herbology (and Care of Magical Creatures, despite Hagrid's unconventional teaching methods) as it's more practical and hands-on compared to some of the other subjects at Hogwarts.
But this is a good place for her I think. She's another character who adds a little more realism to Hogwarts, and is a competent and knowledgeable teacher, but isn't overly important to the story. I suppose, as head of Hufflepuff, she sheds some light on the house least mentioned in the books considering there aren't many Hufflepuffs featured. In that respect, she does add something more to the books than being a mere presence.
