methyl is hydrophobic because it is non polar. the c-h bonds have little electronegativity difference I believe. water is polar, and nonpolar things don't tend to react or dissolve in polar substances.

CH3 is nonpolar, so it is hydrophobic...if CH3 is attached to another nonpolar molecule, it would be called a hydrophobic interaction within a tertiary structure of a protein.
