Not at all. Snobbery is an atitude a state of mind judging people based on pre-conceived notions. It doesn't neccassarily mean that all snobs will come to the same pre-judged conclusions. Miss Woodhouse pre-judges Mr. Martin and finds him lacking. Mr. Knightley pre-judges Miss Smith and finds her lacking. Mr. Knightley himself admits that he was wrong in his pre-judgement of Harriet:

>>>>>>>And, in return for your acknowledging so much, I will do you the justice to say, that you would have chosen for him better than he has chosen for himself. Harriet Smith has some first-rate qualities, which Mrs. Elton is totally without. An unpretending, single-minded, artless girl -- infinitely to be preferred by any man of sense and taste to such a woman as Mrs. Elton. I found Harriet more conversable than I expected." <<<<<
