Interesting observation of Saruman's pupils versus Gandalf's pupils.
Another reason why they are both so different is that Saruman teaches hate. Somebody who hates too much isn't able to love and can only feel desire. That would be Grima.

Faramir is taught by a different master who teaches love. Therefore Faramir can give more to Eowyn. Grima would never be able to do that because he was never taught about that. Or its also because his soul was corrupted by Saruman. Of course Gandalf nurtured the souls of all his pupils whereas Saruman did not.
