It's an interesting idea that by "I see no difference," Severus meant that Hermione should go to the infirmary, not just that he thought both parties had hurt each other equally. Could work.
"I see no difference" isn't in response to Harry and Ron shouting at Severus, though; Severus says that first, and they shout at him in response to it.
But also... although Severus couldn't know, Harry draws his wand first. Draco starts the confrontation by showing off the "Potter Stinks" badges, and then insults Hermione, but Harry turns it into a physical/magical confrontation.
